Chapter 621: Convocation Order
Chapter 621
The news of Gu Lu's return, in less than half a day, has been deliberately spread by the Yan University Academy.
Many of the biggest figures in the world of mathematics have been shaken.
At the same time, many people have their eyes set on the distant country of China.
Gu Lu.
That's a legendary name.
And since, Gu Lu announced his comeback after a year and a half.
So.
Gu Lu's next step is definitely to start a new research topic.
But......
What is the research content of Gu Lu's new topic?
forum.
Many mathematicians disagree.
But for a long time no accurate answer was discussed.
The reason is simple.
Because Gu Lu's scope is too wide.
Algebraic geometry is where Gu Lu became famous.
In addition, Gu Lu is also known as one of the five geniuses in the field of algebraic geometry.
But......
Gu's area of expertise is not only algebraic geometry.
Geometry, algebra, number theory, and even functional analysis are all areas of Gu Law, and have achieved good results.
Everyone really couldn't guess which field Gu Lu's next research would be in.
But.
The crowd was not in a hurry.
Because according to Gu Lu's temperament and everyone's understanding of Gu Lu, Gu Lu is not the kind of character that procrastinates.
Now that Gu Lu has chosen to return, most of them have already thought about what he will study next.
It is estimated that it will not be long before everyone can get accurate information.
…………
The crowd was right.
The news of Gu Lu's return in the morning had just spread, and in the afternoon alone, the Yan University Institute of Mathematics released the specific news of Gu Lu's research content for the next topic.
That's not a bad speed.
But......
No one in the crowd now cared about this speed, but focused all their attention on the second message released by the Yan Dashu Academy.
It is not so much that the Yan University Math Academy released a message, but even more, it is a convening order!
That's right, it's a summoning order!
A summons for the entire mathematical community!
Meantime.
Everyone knew the specific content of Gu Lu's next topic.
Geometry-Algebra-Topology Unification Theory!
When everyone heard these words, almost without exception, their pupils shrank sharply and their mouths opened wide.
Because the news is so shocking.
Even, the degree of shock is greater than the news of 'Gu Lu's return' in the morning.
Why?
Because Gu Lu's idea of constructing a geometric-algebraic-topological grand unified theory is too bold.
Everyone had speculated before about which field of mathematics Gu Lu's next topic would be involved in.
Now, the answer is revealed.
None of the posts on the forum were right.
Gu Lu did not just study a certain field as everyone thought, but set foot in the three different fields of geometry, algebra, and topology at the same time, and tried to establish a set of unified theories.
Such a bold act was unexpected by everyone.
Geometry-algebra-topology theory, that's geometry-algebra-topology theory!
In the academic world, none of the words 'great unification' are simple.
For example, the theory of the great unification of the universe, which is known as the laurel of the academic world, is the object that many people are chasing.
Although the geometry-algebra-topology theory cannot be compared with the universe theory, it is a very difficult theory in the entire mathematical community.
After all.
This theory spans three different branches of mathematics and contains a lot of content.
Trying to organize all this complicated content into the same framework makes it a headache just to think about it.
How difficult is it to construct a geometry-algebra-topology grand unification theory?
Above the special Hodge conjecture is yes.
As for comparing it with the seven mathematical conjectures of the millennium.
It can be said that ......
Successfully constructing a geometric-algebraic-topological grand unified theory is about as difficult as proving the bottom two of the seven conjectures.
Even if there is a difference, it is not much worse.
Be clear.
In today's world of mathematics.
There is not even a set of theoretical frameworks that can unify the field of algebraic geometry, but there are only a few potential frameworks.
As for the theory of unifying the entire geometric world, it is even more impossible to talk about.
And now, what is Gu Lu going to do.
Gu Lu wants to skip the two stages of algebraic geometry unification theory and geometric unification theory, and directly carry out the construction of geometry-algebra-topology grand unification theory.
This is equivalent to not even being able to climb, so you have to start learning to run.
The difficulty can be imagined.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the person who studied this topic was Gu Lu, everyone would have started scolding by now.
Because it sounds too unrealistic.
After all, Gu Lu had created too many miracles in the past few years, and everyone didn't make a decisive conclusion at the first time, and ridiculed Gu Lu with all their brains.
But......
In the words of the people, there is still a skeptical attitude towards this matter.
…………
Of course.
The reason why everyone called the news announced by the Yan University Academy of Mathematics a convening order was because in addition to explaining the specific content of Gu Lu's next topic, it also sent an invitation to the entire mathematical community to join.
In simple terms.
Gu Lu invited international mathematicians to join the research group to jointly construct the geometry-algebra-topology theory.
This was not surprising to everyone.
Constructing a geometric-algebra-topological unified theory requires a considerable amount of work.
It is impossible for Gu Lu to be unclear about this.
If Gu Lu is alone, it is estimated that Gu Lu may not be able to successfully construct the theory of great unification in his lifetime.
Therefore, Gu Lu's only plan is to find a helper.
So, there was Gu Lu's summoning order.
Gather mathematicians from all over the world to join in this vigorous work.
I have to say.
At the moment when they saw the convening order issued by the Yan University School of Mathematics, many mathematicians were moved and planned to sign up.
After all.
That's a rare opportunity to work with Gu Lu!
Many people in the mathematics community have admired Gu Lu, a famous figure, for a long time, but it is difficult to meet him.
And this summoning order is a very good opportunity.
Once you are selected by Gu Lu and join the research group, you can work with Gu Lu for a long time in the future.
This condition is tempting.
Especially for female mathematicians.
But......
After calming down and thinking carefully, everyone began to hesitate again.
It is not unclear how difficult it is to construct a geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory.
Joining Gu Lu's research group means that he has to bear a high risk factor.
