Chapter 183: Fooling You, Me and Him Under the Tree

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Yanbei University, Centennial Lecture Hall, Li Ying Hall.

The conference room, which can seat 333 people, is already packed.

Today, Sunday, almost all the professors from the School of Mathematics and Physics of Yanbei University came, and many professors from Huaqing next door also rushed over.

But the main force that really fills the lecture hall is still the huge student body.

However, unlike Huaqing, the students who came to participate in the report meeting this time were mainly full-time doctoral students, supplemented by graduate students, and there were only a few undergraduates. And the requirements are different.

A special notice was made in the school.

If you don't understand what the report is about, don't raise your hand to ask questions.

This also proves from the side that the crazy complaints on Huaqing's side yesterday probably really suffered a critical hit. With the experience of the past, Yanbei University simply chose to extinguish this possibility from the source.

This can be regarded as an official proof from the official level that the complaints of a bunch of classmates in Huaqing yesterday are not false.

But this also aroused the rebellious psychology of many students in Yanbei.

Is it really completely incomprehensible?

That has to be heard.

In fact, Zhang Hongcai also considered directly changing it to a small press conference and moving it from Li Ying Hall to the Four Seasons Court to hold it.

However, the temporary change of the location of the report meeting was afraid of causing Qiao Ze's unhappiness, so he gave up.

Even if Zhang Hongcai had almost given up on the idea of pulling Qiao Ze to Yanbei University, he didn't want to offend Qiao Ze. Especially after reading Qiao Ze's PPT last night, I probably knew the problem Qiao Ze was studying.

As he said last night, even if Qiao Ze only proves that there is a mathematical solution to the Yang-Mills equation, he will surely become one of the leading figures in the Chinese mathematical community in the future.

The two words used for the future are nothing more than that Qiao Ze is too young.

There is another five or six years of precipitation, and that is the leader of the Eight Classics.

At this time, the time of the presentation was already halfway through, and in 90 minutes, Qiao Ze had already discussed most of the content of the previous mathematics part.

In fact, the style is not much different from when I made a report in Huaqing, and it is still a complicated formula and proof of understanding.

It seems that Qiao Ze did not bother to discuss the impact of his research on the academic community and his vision for the future, and really regarded the seminar as a very pure academic exchange.

The result is similar to yesterday.

Most of the content is still incomprehensible.

It doesn't matter if you've read through the paper published in the Annals of Mathematics before.

In fact, even if the text of the paper has been formed, many mathematicians who do not agree on the same research direction will not be able to read it in just one month.

The mathematical theories involved in any unified proposition are too complex.

So the lecture hall was very quiet, except for Qiao Ze's voice, which could really be described as a falling needle.

In the temple of knowledge, you can not understand, but you cannot desecrate.

Until that shuddering formula came along.

……

Xu Changshu couldn't help but move his buttocks, staring at the formula on the curtain that ordinary people couldn't even read the symbols.

He was one of the few attendees today who could keep up with the content of the event.

This is not only due to the fact that he has studied and thought about related issues in depth, and has studied Qiao Ze's thesis, but also because he has been in email contact with Qiao Ze for most of the past half a month, and has conducted a series of discussions on this issue.

He was able to determine that if he extended the formula, he would be able to solve a mathematical problem that had plagued him for generations.

This also made Xu Changshu's eyes start to become excited, and he couldn't help but want to say something.

So he looked at the students beside him and said softly, "Zeng Guangzhi, do you understand this step?" ”

Then, unsurprisingly, his best student shook his head blankly.

Xu Changshu smiled and whispered: "It's normal not to understand, only a true genius can have an idea, he used the space splitting method mentioned in the previous paper, and carried out a series of changes to get this step." That's why I definitely want to go to Xilin Institute of Technology. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mathematics is like this many times, one person can even be worth a team of 10,000 people." I hope you can make a decision quickly, whether to follow me to Xilin or stay in Yanbei. If you choose the latter, I have already told Professor Cheng that he can accept you. ”

Zeng Guangzhi nodded blankly, and then looked at Qiao Ze's young face on the stage in a daze, only feeling that life was too wonderful.

Halfway through the Ph.D., it's not uncommon for the supervisor to suddenly leave.

But Zeng Guangzhi really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him.

When he first chose his mentor, he valued that Xu Changshu was young enough and already had a high reputation in the mathematics community. As long as he can successfully graduate with a doctorate, the future is bright.

But who would have thought that the mentor would have to go halfway?

Although Xilin University of Technology is also a 985 institution, it is not comparable to Yanbei University in terms of popularity.

The instructor was still excited, eager to pass over soon.

Ay......

was lamenting in his heart, but Zeng Guangzhi still responded softly: "Well, the boss I know will think about it carefully." ”

On the other side, Zhang Hongcai also whispered to the people around him: "Academician Wang, I just saw this yesterday. Do you think there's something wrong with his proof? ”

The academician with gray temples shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhang, you think too highly of me." How can I understand it in such a short time, but one thing I can confirm is that the Joe-style space splitting method built by this kid can stand up to the test. Xiao Li and the others have tried to solve a number of non-abelian commutative field equations using Qiao Ze's method, and they have all obtained satisfactory results. ”

"Hey......" After listening to Academician Wang's reply, Zhang Hongcai sighed again.

Why is this kid so brainless? Is it bad to come to Yanbei University?

As long as he thought that the first serious Fields Medal winner in China in the future turned out to be from Xilin University of Technology, he was depressed for a while.

Blind Yanbei Mathematics College's name of the first in the country.

"If this step of derivation can be proven correct, I think it will only take two or three years at most, or even less, for Joser to complete the proof of existence of the solution of the Yang-Mills equation. If two years can be completed, it will not be a problem to compete for the next Fields Medal. Zhang Hongcai sighed.

The next mathematics congress is around August 2026. If Joser can complete the proof in 2025 and be recognized by the world mathematical community, then the competition for the Fields Medal is indeed a sure thing.

José is nineteen years old and will be 22 years old in three years.

If the youngest Fields winner is pulled to this level at one time, there is a high probability that there is no one before, and there will be no one in the future.

Academician Wang just smiled, then shook his head slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the young man on the stage, and motioned for Zhang Hongcai to listen to the report first.

This kind of thing, from his point of view, is really hard to evaluate anything.

To be honest, for Wang Zhenjie, president of the Chinese Mathematicians Association, who came to listen to this report, he was also shocked under the calm appearance at this time.

A nineteen-year-old boy is already at the top of the pyramid and can challenge the brightest pearl of mathematics, which he could not have imagined before today. Even if Zhang Hongcai had already given him a preventive shot before.

At this time, Qiao Ze's voice continued.

The above is the main content of today's presentation, and the content that will be included in the next is not limited to mathematical imagination. Unfortunately, mathematically self-consistent theories of physics are not necessarily correct, which also leads to the fact that when we map mathematics to physics, no logical questions do not mean correct.

What follows is my reflection on this issue. First of all, we need to bring the entry theory, do a Feynman diagram, calculate the scattering amplitude by Feynman's rule and bring it into our formula, we can get the following result......"

Zhang Hongcai quietly watched Qiao Ze switch PPT again.

This part of the content was something he didn't continue to watch yesterday.

"mφ is the mass of the boson, g is the coupling constant in the Rallett of the interaction between particles, and in combination with the formula, we can find the range of v(g) from the scattering cross-section. The next step is to use the splitting method again to transform it spatially......"

In view of the time constraints, I omitted the calculation steps, which is the final result......

From this result, we can see that the components of the electric field can be constructed as non-commutative operators, which I think will be a key step in solving the mass gap hypothesis. So the most critical question is how we can continue to use mathematical language to explain the existence of mass gaps.

That's my whole thought process on this issue, and that's all I want to talk about in this presentation today. ”

Yes, at this time, Qiao Ze's PPT has turned to the last page.

The originally extremely quiet meeting scene suddenly burst into whispers because of Qiao Ze's words.

There was no applause for the time being, but countless people couldn't help but discuss it.

Although most people didn't understand the first half of the report, everyone understood the second half.

This press conference turned out to not only analyze the published papers, but also talk about the recent research directions?

The ultimate problem that this young man on stage has to solve turned out to be......

For a time, there was a tendency for the whispers to change to an uproar.

"Do you understand?"

"What do you mean?"

"Nonsense...... Of course, he that formula, and the result of the calculation after bringing it in. ”

"I think if I can understand something, I'll be able to become a professor in Princeton."

"Does that mean he can really solve this problem?"

"I don't know, but look at the professors sitting in the front row...... They don't seem to be responding yet, so I think it's probably correct, right? ”

"Is it possible that the professors didn't understand either?"

"Hehe......"

……

There are many more similar discussions.

Although Qiao Ze's tone had been calm, those who were able to sit in the room until today must understand what the question Qiao Ze was going to challenge represented.

Even if Yu Chenggong saw off Zhang Hongcai last night, he also checked the introduction of the quality gap on the Internet, and followed the research process of his predecessors on this issue.

It has even been asserted that there is probably no more difficult problem in the world than the mass gap assumption.

If people can really solve this problem, it will represent a big step forward in human understanding of the microscopic physical world.

This problem, which combines mathematical and physical theories, became the basis of modern particle physics before it was proven. If falsified, a branch of physics will become a joke, even the Standard Model of particles, the Higgs mechanism, which has been proven countless times.

It is precisely because it is so basic that the Young-Mills theory itself only provides a subtle model, but it does not directly tell the physics community what the strong and weak forces are. This requires the theory to be solved and proven.

Who can prove it, his status in the academic world can probably be described as a contemporary Newton.

It takes courage for a 19-year-old to challenge one of the world's ultimate issues, and even to directly state his arguments at this public presentation.

Because once it is proved that the content of the report meeting is full of errors and omissions, it will probably usher in all kinds of ridicule from the academic community.

But on the other hand, when Qiao Ze finally asked the question, the people at the press conference who didn't understand the content at all forgave themselves in an instant.

"No wonder I don't understand, it's about this thing! The title of this presentation is too deceptive, right? ”

Yes, this is probably the truest sentiment of many people at this time.

If you want to verify the "mass gap hypothesis", then it is normal to not understand it.

People are always good at self-soothing.

……

On the stage, after Qiao Ze finished talking about the problem, he stood silently on the rostrum for a minute, and glanced around the large venue by the way.

This was followed by a Q&A session.

However, when Qiao Ze saw that most of the people in the venue began to whisper, and a few people sat there in a daze, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He thought of what Li Jiangao had told him, if he could really make this proposition, there would probably be no more than 20 people in the world who could read his paper in a short time.

Before, he thought that Uncle Li was a little exaggerated.

But when he saw the reaction of everyone in the audience at this moment, he was probably sure that Uncle Li might not be too exaggerated.

After all, he is far from being able to prove this proposition.

Due to time constraints, what was discussed in today's report meeting is only a general idea, and it does not involve too many overly complicated proof processes.

Even so, he could feel that there might not be many people who could understand his mathematical thoughts, even though it was recognized as the top university in the field of mathematical theory in China.

There was a slight disappointment in my heart.

He began to doubt some of what Su Mucheng had said to him.

The people here don't seem to be as smart as he thinks they are.

If you can't quickly understand and inspire even the most basic ideas, it's hard to imagine giving more meaningful suggestions and hints in in-depth research.

For a while, the young children were a little distracted.

So in the "buzz" of the venue, Qiao Ze turned around directly and walked silently towards the noisy audience.

There is no need for a question session.

José felt that asking questions without quality would make a serious report a farce. He didn't bother to repeat the math over and over again.

Obviously, the efficiency of the presentation is not even as good as that of the academic discussion by email.

For the people in the audience who have already reacted, it is a little inexplicable.

Well......

Why did the people leave? Don't answer the question next?

Zhang Hongcai was slightly stunned, and then glanced at Academician Wang beside him, but after seeing that Academician Wang beside him was stunned for a short time and returned to his calm appearance, he only sighed in his heart, and then took the initiative to stand up and began to applaud.

When Zhang Hong made this move, the people next to him finally reacted.

The professors stood up and began to applaud.

Led everyone to get up from their seats and start applauding, even if many were still in a daze.

Zhang Hongcai sighed in his heart.

That's probably the best way to deal with it, right? It's as if there really wasn't a Q&A session scheduled for today's presentation.

I can save some face.

Well, at least it's much stronger than yesterday's Huaqing report meeting.

……

"Professor Li, why did Qiao Ze leave directly today?" In the audience, Yu Chenggong, who had already stood up and applauded with everyone, couldn't help but ask Li Jiangao beside him.

Qiao Ze still didn't understand the content of this report meeting, and it was still impossible for him to understand.

Not knowing also means not knowing the level of difficulty, and the fearlessness of the ignorant is not actually derogatory in many cases, but simply describes a fact.

The network has made Yu successfully understand that the quality gap assumption is a great proposition.

But after all, he is not doing mathematical or physical theory research, so he doesn't know that it is not easy to really understand what this proposition says, let alone study this proposition, let alone understand the difficulty of understanding this proposition.

It's hard to know this proposition, and many times it's just a crowd.

Everyone says it's difficult, but it's naturally difficult.

But it is also quite difficult for people to understand where the difficulty lies.

Li Jiangao naturally understood, even to the point of being intimidated by this proposition.

For example, when he entered the temple of mathematics, he never thought of having any contact with this proposition.

It's a recognition of one's own abilities.

So when he heard Yu Chenggong's question, Li Jiangao was silent for a moment and gave a very sincere answer: "This is probably Qu Gao and Widow." ”

"Haha, Director Yu, Uncle Li is very shy. Actually, the answer to your question is very simple, because he is Qiao Ze. Su Mucheng, who was next to him, heard the conversation between the two and said proudly.

"Uh-huh, you're right." Yu Chenggong nodded again and again.

Although this answer is a bit idealistic, it is really easy to understand.

Because he's Joze.

……

There are many assumptions in mathematics and, interestingly, in physics.

Many hypotheses, if tested to a certain extent, become conjectures.

It is difficult to say which conjecture is more noble, but if it has been verified countless times, the conjecture that cannot be proved will naturally become the most striking proposition in the history of human science. The scientific system of mankind is such a process of continuous summarization.

Naturally, today's presentation made a deep impression on everyone present.

If you add the momentum that Qiao Ze's report meeting in Huaqing yesterday has promoted, this report meeting at Yanbei University will naturally receive more attention from outside the field.

The only pity is that this conference is semi-open, and there will be live or recorded videos like the Mathematicians Conference, so that any scholar who is interested in the proposition can download the video through official channels and learn about the mathematicians' thoughts.

But for this report, it still aroused the curiosity of many Huaqing students.

Especially yesterday, the two sides were engaged in a polemic.

"Did you hear that? Today's report meeting at Yanbei University directly omitted the Q&A process. ”

"Haha, if you say that, the other side has also been taught a hard lesson, right?"

"Well, I can't say that. Qiao Ze's presentation at Yanbei University is said to be about solving the precondition problem of the mass gap assumption. ”

"Mass clearance assumptions? Isn't the title of the presentation a discussion of the correspondence between non-abelian exchange groups and Riemann space? How do you go up to the mass gap assumption? Exaggerated, right? ”

"Really, just now our school's tutor posted a circle of friends, specifically emotional, and the screenshots have been spread all over the graduate students. Saying that it is the god Joe may have found the key to solving the mass gap hypothesis. You don't know, I heard that all the professors at the press conference were confused. By the way, it is said that several academicians were present in person at today's report meeting, and no one refuted Qiao Ze's conclusions. ”

"That...... Qiao Ze is really so fierce? ”

"Who gave you the courage to call God Joe by his name?"

……

It is very rare to see that after the Yanbei University group ridiculed Huaqing's side yesterday, although there were also some minor problems in this report, Huaqing's side did not ridicule Yanbei.

Everyone understands what the mass gap hypothesis will bring to the entire mathematical community once it is proven.

No, not only in mathematics, but also in physics.

Even if only the mathematical framework is proven, it can at least show that the most cutting-edge physics framework is based on a correct theoretical framework, which is tantamount to a shot in the arm for scientists studying particle physics.

At the very least, it can make the research more confident.

At this moment, Qiao Ze was also invited to the dinner that he couldn't escape again.

It's just that today's meal is undoubtedly much larger than yesterday's.

Today, not only the professors of Yanbei University attended, but there were a total of five senior academicians of the School of Chinese Academy of Sciences sitting at the big table of 20 people.

This once made Yu Chenggong unable to talk and laugh as usual.

No way, this specification is indeed too high, especially for people in the university circle, and it also highlights the foundation of Yanbei University in science.

Probably only Qiao Ze can maintain the same state as before.

It's not that Qiao Ze doesn't respect these senior academicians, everything is due to character.

After the greetings, while waiting for the food to be served, he took the initiative to ask Xu Changshu, who was sitting next to Qiao Ze, but talked to Qiao Ze about something.

In fact, at the report meeting, Xu Changshu prepared some questions and planned to ask them.

But Qiao Ze turned around and walked directly off the rostrum, Xu Changshu was stunned, and at the same time, he could only bury these questions in his heart first.

Just a few simple face-to-face discussions, Xu Changshu only felt that he benefited a lot.

It strengthened his resolve.

Since Qiao Ze was unwilling to come to the capital, it must be the right decision for him to go to Xilin.
