主题: Possible meeting with Norwegian hadronic researcher visiting Beijing / Some
questions about the 1991 FLT proof by Jiang
日期: 2003年11月14日 4:22
Professor Chun-Xuan Jiang,
I am a scientist at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, also holding an honorary professorship at Institute of Basic Research. Besides,I am a personal friend both of Ruggero Maria Santilli and of Erik Trell. A Ph.D. student of mine, Emil R&oslash;yrvik, is going to write a thesis about the knowledge ecology following the rise of Santilli mathematics, hadronic physics, hadronic technology, hadronic business, and so on. I have noticed your very, important book Foundations of Santilli's Isonumber Theory, with Applications to New Cryptograms, Fermat's Theorem and Goldbach's Conjecture. On page 229 in the book (below equation
2.12) it is stated clearly that YOU were the first to prove Fermat's last theorem (1991), not Wiles (1994). In the West there has been a lot of ado about Wiles as the first to prove FLT, this probably due to arrogant and pluralistic ignorance concerning the proof offered by you. However, I wonder:1) Is there any expectation to this pattern, i.e. is there ANY publication in the West, English or not, recognizing you as the real first man ? (Or doubting your proof?)
2) Have your 1991-proof been published in any Western mathematical journal?If not, why not ? 3) Is your 1991-proof recognized among Chinese mathematicians as the first correct proof? Of course I can see that in your book you have offered proofs for much more complicated Fermat-Santilli theorems. However, for trivial reasons of credibility it may be important to get Western mathematicians to acknowledge that your proof of FLT was the first correct proof. This may also be important for the general prestige of mathematical research into the exciting and important fields of iso-, geno- and hypernumbers; maybe also for the general prestige of Chinese mathematics. I would be very thankful if you could give a reply to my questions. I also wonder about the extent of Chinese mathematicians doing research into iso-,geno- and hypernumbers nowadays.Professor Trell gives you his best of references.Mr. R&oslash;yrvik is visiting China (Xi'an and Beijing) for about 10 days in December (exact dates not yet scheduled). If possible, he would very much like to meet you in Beijing to get an impression of state-of-the art of advanced Chinese science. Do you think this is possible. Mr. R&oslash;yrvik is enthusiastic about Santilli mathematics and hadronic physics, and is a most sympathetic person. If you have the opportunity to meet him, I would appreciate this very much; this surely being of great importance for his research and thesis.

Yours sincerely,
Professor, D. Phil. Stein Johansen
