"Can you tell me the reason?" Looking at Lu Zhou in surprise, Fefferman continued in a joking tone, "Maybe I will write it in my memoirs in the future."
There is no suspense about the result.
"This theory is quite mature, but it lacks the evidence that experiments can provide. If we discuss this issue with him, it is not a discussion. At most, we are just trying to convince each other... At least for now, before a new theory is born, this is It makes no sense."
but…
The solution to an equation may differ depending on the input parameters, but the general solution does not differ in any way depending on the computer running it, even if it is a nonlinear partial differential equation.
"Then I have to answer this question carefully," Lu Zhou smiled, and after pondering for a moment, he continued, "Actually, there is no special reason. It's just that as a mathematical physicist, he has great experience in the Grand Unified Theory. After more than decades of research, he has a set of mature views on string theory and the interactions between the microscopic particle world."
After all, understanding the mystery behind this equation can be said to be the lifelong wish of many scholars. And as the general solution to this equation was found, everyone saw the dawn of hope.
Lu Zhou looked away subtly, coughed lightly and continued.
Although academic fraud has been a problem these days, even the test data of Yanda cannot be said to be completely credible, but research institutions such as the John Norman Supercomputing Center still have a certain reputation in the eyes of the masses. It must be authoritative.
Although Fefferman mainly studies mathematics, his research direction is after all partial differential equations, so his research is still closely related to physics. Whether in fluid mechanics or theoretical physics, he has his own unique insights.
At the same time, because of the paper Lu Zhou posted on Arxiv, research on the Yang-Mills equation, the mass gap, and the related electromagnetic and strong interactions on the Arxiv website have become popular again. Major academic exchange forums You can also see lively discussion posts.
"Qin Yue is currently working as a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study. He seems to be doing research in the direction of number theory. Your student named Hardy has returned to Brazil. It is said that he is now teaching at the University of Sao Paulo. I don't know much about him... Oh By the way, there is also your Miss Vera Puyoi. She is very good in number theory classes and has become an associate professor at Princeton University. It is said that she is challenging a very challenging topic, but she seems unwilling to tell What is she doing? Maybe you can ask? By the way, it will satisfy our curiosity."
Lu Zhou was silent for a while and then spoke.
"Discussing this issue with him may not be the best choice, at least at this stage... Of course, I hope you won't tell him this."
The report meeting on the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation came to a successful conclusion.
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou, who was drinking coffee, almost spit out a sip of coffee.
Except for maverick scholars, no one would take too much credit for granted...
And these things are exactly what Lu Zhou needs most.
"I believe she knew what she was doing."
As if he expected him to say this, Lu Zhou smiled and said.
"Ahem! That's unnecessary... By the way, where are some of my students? How are they doing now?"
After picking up the coffee and taking a sip, his eyes fell on the three blackboards beside the office wall.
In the three days after the report, Lu Zhou was basically in the School of Mathematics at Jinling University, discussing the issue of mass gap with his old friend Professor Fefferman.
In Lu Zhou's office.
In the next three days, several other supercomputing centers that were interested in this proposition, including the YSU Supercomputing Center and Princeton’s John Norman Supercomputing Center, also released their verification results.
After discussing all morning, his mouth felt a little dry. Lu Zhou asked Assistant Lin to make two cups of coffee, and then sat on the sofa and chatted with Professor Fefferman about unrelated topics.
After all, he knew he was right, and that was enough for him.
Whoever can lay the last brick on this building will not only get at least one-third of the prize money, but also hope to stand on the Nobel Prize podium with a world-renowned scholar.
"To be honest, you should talk to Edward Witten about these things. He is the master in the field of theoretical physics, and I only know something about theoretical physics because of work and research needs." He put down the coffee cup in his hand and leaned on Fefferman, who was on the sofa, continued in a helpless tone, "And this understanding may not be as much as that of fluid mechanics."
Fefferman smiled and said: "It's always been good. In addition to the students missing you, there are also several young female researchers who have expressed their admiration for you... It's a bit inappropriate to say these things at my age. That’s perfect, how about I give you their email addresses?”
"Well, now that you say so."
…
He really didn't know what to say.
What's more, when studying NS equations, the two were old partners, and there was no obstacle to communicating on academic issues.
Jin Dashu Courtyard.
The three blackboards placed against the wall are almost full of writing and there is no room for them.
Not to mention that in addition to satisfying his own thirst for knowledge, there is also the temptation of the Nobel Prize and the million-dollar reward for the Millennium Problem.
With the release of data from several other supercomputing centers, while the masses were amazed at Professor Lu’s computing power, rumors such as “the data from JJTU’s supercomputing center were falsified” and “the general explanation was scrawled casually” also spread. If you don't attack, you will fail.
"How are things going at Princeton?"
Although he was sure that if he asked, she would definitely tell him.
"I believe Witten also understands this," Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued with a smile, "otherwise I think he would be happy to stay here for a few more days. There is no need to leave in such a hurry."
"Since she doesn't want to disclose it, I think we should respect her decision."
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem to want to discuss this issue, Fefferman said nothing more.
"What you say makes sense," Fefferman shrugged. "It's just that I'm a little worried that she might have gotten into trouble. Similar situations are common among some young and promising scholars. After all, we all agree that she will become The most powerful contender for the Fields Medal at the St. Petersburg International Congress of Mathematicians. It would be a pity for her to be delayed by a mathematical proposition that cannot be solved for the time being."
Lu Zhou didn't pay much attention to the verification results of the supercomputing center, nor did he have much interest in it.
