Mathematical Review 上的评论, 评论人肯定非常吃惊, 最后都加了感叹号. (数学物理学报(英文版)好像还是国内不错的刊物呀.) MR0856275 (87i:92028) Jiang, Chun Xuan The application of stable groups to biological structures. Acta Math. Sci. (English Ed.) 5 (1985), no. 3, 243--260. 92A12 (20M20) References: 0 Reference Citations: 0 Review Citations: 0 The author proves some elementary facts about certain semigroups of mappings from {1,2,..., n} into itself, and notes in particular that certain desirable properties occur when $n$ is prime or double a prime. He uses this to motivate the claim that for this reason prime numbers occur frequently in nature by natural selection. For example, he mentions that we have 5 fingers. He even claims that Homo sapiens is so advanced because we have 46 (twice a prime) chromosomes in a cell! 2. Zentralblatt Math 上的评论, 说明其对费马大定理的证明是错误的. 1931 -Zbl 0742.11015 Jiang, Chun-xuan A marvelous proof for Fermat's last theorem. (Chinese. English summary) [J] J. Syst. Eng. Electron. 13, No.5, 73-75 (1991). The author says that the equation (10) has integer root $A$. From $cA$ is an integer, we can not deduce that $A$ is an integer. So that the proof of Fermat's last theorem in this paper is incorrect. [ Ke Zhao (Chengdu) ] (XYS20031124) ◇◇新语丝(www.xys.org)(xys.dxiong.com)(xys.3322.org)(xys.freedns.us)◇◇
