Chapter 627: Discussion with Professor Feverman
The report on the general solution of the Yang Mills equation came to a successful conclusion.
In the next three days, several other supercomputing centers interested in this proposition, including the Yanda Supercomputing Center and the John Norman Supercomputing Center in Princeton, also released the results one after another.
There was no suspense in the end.
The solution of an equation may vary depending on the input parameters, but the general solution does not differ in any way depending on the computer on which it is run, even if it is a nonlinear partial differential equation.
With the release of the data of several other supercomputing centers, while the people who eat melons were amazed by Professor Landing's computing ability, rumors such as "the data of the Jinda Supercomputing Center is falsified" and "the general explanation is scribbled casually" have also been self-defeating.
Although it has been caused by academic fraud in recent years, even the test data of Yan University cannot be said to be completely credible, but research institutions such as the John Norman Supercomputing Center still have a certain authority in the eyes of the people who eat melons.
At the same time, because of Lu Zhou's paper on Arxiv, the research on the Yang Mills equation, mass gaps, and correlation between electromagnetic interactions and strong interactions on the Arxiv website has become popular again, and posts can also be seen on major academic exchange forums.
After all, understanding the mystery behind this equation can be said to be the lifelong wish of many scholars. And with the general solution of this equation being solved, everyone saw the dawn of hope.
Not to mention that in addition to satisfying one's own intellectual curiosity, there is also the temptation of a Nobel Prize and a million-dollar reward for the millennial problem. Confusion is ahead.
Whoever can put the last brick on the edifice will not only take at least one-third of the prize money, but will also be able to stand on the podium of the Nobel Prize with a world-renowned scholar.
No one is disgusted with too much honor, except for maverick scholars......
……
Regarding the verification results of the supercomputing center, Lu Zhou didn't pay too much attention to it, and he didn't have much interest in it.
After all, he knew very well that he was right, and that was enough for him.
In the three days after the end of the report meeting, Lu Zhou basically spent time in the School of Mathematics of Jinling University, discussing and exchanging issues about quality gaps with his old friend Professor Feverman.
Although Feverman's main research is mathematics, his research direction is partial differential equations, so his research is still quite closely related to physics. Whether it is in fluid mechanics or theoretical physics, he has his own unique opinions.
And these things are exactly what Lu Zhou needs the most.
What's more, when studying the NS equation, the two are old partners, and there is no obstacle to communicating academic issues.
Kim University of Mathematics.
Lu Zhou's office.
The three blackboards against the wall barely fit for space.
After discussing all morning, I felt a little dry, so Lu Zhou asked Assistant Lin to make two cups of coffee, and then sat on the sofa and chatted with Professor Feverman about unrelated topics.
"How are you doing over there at Princeton?"
Feverman smiled and said, "It's always been good, and in addition to the students who miss you, there are also several young female researchers who have expressed their admiration for you...... At my age, they still say that these things are a little inappropriate, or should I give you their email address? ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhou, who was drinking coffee, almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of coffee.
"Ahem! It doesn't have to be...... By the way, what about my students? How are they doing now? ”
Qin Yue is currently working as a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study, and it seems that he is doing research in the direction of number theory. Your student, Hardy, has returned to Brazil and is said to be teaching at the University of São Paulo, and I don't know what happened to him...... Oh yes, and your Miss Vera Puyuy. She excelled in number theory and has become an associate professor at Princeton University. She is said to be taking on a very challenging subject, but she doesn't seem willing to tell anyone what she's doing. Maybe you can ask? By the way, satisfy our curiosity. ”
Somewhat subtly looking away, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and continued.
"Since she doesn't want to reveal it, I think it's better to respect her decision."
Although he was sure that if he asked, she would tell herself.
But......
He really didn't know what to say.
"You have a point," Feverman shrugged, "except I'm a little worried that she might get into the horns, as is common with some young and promising academics." After all, we all agreed that she would be the strongest contender for the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians in St. Petersburg. It would be a pity for her to be delayed by a mathematical proposition that could not be solved for the time being. ”
Lu Zhou was silent for a while and spoke.
"I believe she knows what she's doing."
"Well, since you've said so."
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't seem to want to discuss this issue, Feverman didn't say anything more.
Taking a sip of his coffee, his gaze fell on the three blackboards on the wall of his office.
"To be honest, you should talk to Edward Witten about these things, he is a master in the field of theoretical physics, and I only know a little about theoretical physics because of my work and research needs," put down the coffee cup in his hand, and Fefferman, who was leaning on the sofa, continued in a somewhat helpless tone, "And this understanding may not be as good as fluid mechanics." ”
As if expecting him to say this, Lu Zhou smiled and said.
"Talking to him about this may not be the best option, at least at this stage...... Of course, I hope you don't tell him about this sentence. ”
"Can you tell me why?" Looking at Lu Zhou with some surprise, Fefferman continued in a joking tone, "Maybe I'll write it into my memoirs later." ”
"Then I have to answer this question carefully," Lu Zhou smiled, pondered for a moment, and continued, "Actually, it's not a special reason, it's just that as a mathematical physicist, he has studied the grand unified theory for decades, and he has a set of mature views on both string theory and the interaction between the microscopic particle world. ”
"The theory is quite mature, but it lacks the evidence that experiments can provide. If we discuss this with him, it is not called a discussion, at most we convince each other...... At least for now, there is no point in doing so until new theories are born. ”
"I'm sure Witten understands this too," after a pause, Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "Otherwise, I think he would be happy to stay here for a few more days, and there is no need to leave in such a hurry." ”
