Chapter 102: Insightful Eyes_5

Even when it comes to some modern tools, namely the theories of elliptic curves and modular forms, these tools already encompass the key ideas for similar problems, so there's no reliance on Peter Scholze's theories.

Similarly, when researching topics like prime number distribution, congruence theory, quadratic forms, the integer ring over algebraic number fields, and so on, Peter Scholze's theories are also not essential. It's like the classic proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, which before Wiles' work mainly relied on the basic concepts of elliptic curves, modular forms, and Lie group theory.

So this thing you're working on, how should I say it, whether it will succeed or not is one thing — of course, I can't judge its success or failure — but it's certain that the proof process will be exceedingly complex, and I don't even know if success would be a good thing or a bad thing."
