However, there is no banquet in the world, after all, he is the head of the mathematics department, and there are still many things waiting for Fepferman to deal with at Princeton.

Sent Fefferman to the airport, looking at Feverman who was walking towards the security checkpoint with his suitcase, Lu Zhou said goodbye.

"Have a nice trip."

"I will," he said with a smile and a farewell gesture, and Fefferman continued, "be sure to contact me if there's anything new to discover." ”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"Definitely."

In the next few days, Lu Zhou basically returned to his routine of commuting between Zhongshan International, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the offices of the Institute of Mathematics of the Golden University. Since the number theory and computational materials science classes have been completed one after another, there is nothing more troublesome on the school side until next month's exam week.

These days, Lu Zhou is either working on his own subject or guiding several of his students through academic tasks.

To be honest, he still feels a sense of accomplishment when he sees the little saplings he has cultivated growing strongly.

The office of the Academy.

Lu Zhou called Han Mengqi to his desk.

"Good news for you."

Looking at the mysterious expression on Lu Zhou's face, Han Mengqi asked suspiciously.

“…… What's the good news? ”

"Just this morning, I received an email from the editorial office of ACS-Nano stating that your paper has been approved!" Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face, "Congratulations, now you are also a scholar with a top journal." ”

The moment she heard the news, Han Mengqi was slightly stunned, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true," Lu Zhou smiled and said, "This is all the result of your efforts in the past six months...... How's that? Got excited? ”

Han Mengqi nodded excitedly.

"Hmmm! Super excited! ”

The impact factor of ACS-Nano is about 14, and as one of the top journals in the field of materials science, it is not so easy to get a manuscript.

The reviewer of Han Mengqi's paper is Ali Javey, the associate editor, who is also a material science expert, and Lu Zhou exchanged emails with him at an academic conference.

Although there may be a reason why the corresponding author's name is listed on the corresponding author for such a quick review, the quality of the paper itself is certainly unquestionable.

After all, fame is one thing, and the academic community ultimately speaks with strength.

Seeing Han Mengqi's excited face, Lu Zhou was also sincerely happy for her.

In general, the few students he brought with him were quite competitive.

In addition to Han's paper, two other Ph.D.'s papers on number theory and computational materials science have also been published in SIAM-revie with impact factor 4 and Nano-Today with impact factor 17.

voted for a paper with an impact factor of 10, which made Wu Shuimu very happy.

Although this paper is a project on nanomaterials at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, and his name is somewhat suspected of "cultivating" him, he has also contributed a lot to this project.

As for He Changwen's paper, except for Lu Zhou's guidance a few times, it was basically completed independently.

The impact factor of mathematics journals is generally low, and the real impact is not linked to the impact factor, so the impact factor does not reflect the real level. Although SIAM-revie is not one of the top four journals, it is one of the best journals in the first district according to the division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

There is also a paper by Feng Jin, and the impact factor of the submitted journal is about 1-2.

The paper is still under peer review, but the results will be available in early June.

As for the other three graduate students in mathematics and one in computational materials science who failed to complete their dissertations, Lu Zhou did not blame them much.

After all, there are differences in abilities between people, not to mention that the source of Jin Da's students is not comparable to Princeton at present, he never expected his students to be all talented people, as long as they can complete the tasks assigned to them step by step.

At noon, I went to the cafeteria to eat a bowl of barbecue bibimbap, and when Lu Zhou, who returned to the office, saw that the time was almost up, so he changed into a more handsome formal suit, sat on the sofa in the office, and accepted an appointment interview from the British "Nature Weekly".

During this time, he received a lot of interview invitations, both from domestic media and from abroad.

Knowing the public's curiosity about the content of his research, Lu Zhou selectively accepted interview appointments from some of the appropriately qualified media.

Nature Weekly, for example, is one of them.

This kind of publication under the umbrella of Nature, even if it is non-academic, is far more professional than that of a professional headline party like the Daily Mail. At least in terms of reporting on academic figures, major scientific breakthroughs, and so on, this kind of weekly still has a certain seriousness.

When the reporter and photographer of Nature Weekly arrived at the hospital, Lin Yuxiang warmly invited the two into the office to sit down, and then poured them two cups of coffee.

The camera turned on, adjusted the recorder, and sat in a dignified position, Ms. Belinda said with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Lu Zhou."

"Hello."

Belinda smiled and said, "Remember five years ago?" We met at CERN headquarters in Switzerland as an intern at CERN, and I interviewed you about the discovery of the 750 GeV characteristic peak. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "No wonder I felt quite familiar when you first entered the door." ”

Belinda smiled and continued to ask, "I remember Professor Grell from CERN who was full of praise for your talent in physics, what exactly led you to the path of mathematics?" ”

"At first, it was probably just because I majored in mathematics," Lu Zhou continued, thinking about it, "and after in-depth research, I became interested, so I had the idea of delving into it." ”

Belinda was surprised and asked, "Is that all?" ”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

Flipping through the shorthand book in her hand, Ms. Belinda continued: "Now that the general solution of the Young Mills equation has been solved, according to my understanding, there is one most critical problem that has not been solved - that is, the problem of mass gap. Many physicists have said that whoever can solve this problem has the hope of picking off the most dazzling holy grail of modern physics...... I would like to ask why, why do you say that? And, what's the difficulty with this question? ”

That's not a good question to answer.

After all, most people don't understand what mass clearance is, let alone how difficult it is.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou spoke.

"To understand the mass gap of strong interactions means to explore the hadron world under strong interactions described by the third-order special unitary group gauge field theory. For this unknown world, the minimum frequency we need to detect its high-energy beam is the minimum mass multiplied by the squared/Planck constant of the speed of light. ”

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"Referring to the minimum mass value in the experiment, this lowest frequency is of the order of magnitude 10^24Hz, so the high degree of interaction coupling shows that the world of hadrons is very different from the world we are familiar with. Understanding the world we are not familiar with is a meaningful and challenging thing in itself, and it can change our civilization as much as discovering a livable galaxy. ”

"In short, we will figure out how massless bricks stack particles with mass, and how the four fundamental forces that we are familiar with can be unified in areas we don't understand."

With a surprised look on her face, Ms. Belinda continued to ask.

"So your goal is to unify the four fundamental forces?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "This is not my goal, this is the goal of the whole physics." ”

Ms. Belinda immediately asked, "So how do you think it can be achieved?" ”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Before unifying gravity with the other three fundamental forces, I think it is crucial to achieve internal unity between the three fundamental forces. ”

"The Young Mills equation is the first step towards the grand unification theory, and establishing the relationship between strong interactions and electromagnetic interactions will be an extremely important piece of the puzzle, or the final piece of the puzzle to unify the three fundamental forces...... After all, Weinberg et al.'s theory of the unification of weak electricity has unified electromagnetic action and weak interaction by adding a Higgs field. ”

Belinda continued with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"So in your theory, the electromagnetic force would act like a kind of bond, uniting weak interactions with strong interactions?"

"Yes," Lu Zhou joked, leaning back in his chair, "and then take his two little friends and go together to find the most unsociable gravitational pull...... But I don't think I'll ever want to see this day in my life. ”
