Qiao Ze's impression of the three roommates is actually quite good.

Although the contact time was not long, it was the first time he participated in group life.

Originally, this was supposed to be a life experience in high school, but unfortunately, Qiao Ze was really unable to adapt to the school environment in high school, and he was always taken by Lu Xiuxiu.

It wasn't until college that I had the opportunity to share a room with three roommates.

Although these three guys have their own shortcomings, such as Zhang Zhou is a little weird, Gu Zhengliang likes to be fake and serious, and Chen Yiwen always has some very strange brain circuits. But to be honest, Qiao Ze has gained a lot of warmth that his peers should have felt early in this short collective life.

I even experienced a touch of a feeling that I had never felt before – friendship.

So he was still willing to go to the invitation from 408.

Although I don't usually say anything during dinner, it's still good to take a walk together after eating and listen to what nonsense this guy wants to talk about.

……

On the way to the cafeteria for the banquet, Su Mucheng had already begun to give Qiao Ze a preventive shot.

"Brother Qiao, what do you want to do well again?"

"Oh?"

Hehe, he heard that Qunzhi was recommended to join this year's National Science Progress Award evaluation. When you invite us to dinner today, you must want to ask if there is his name in the list reported by the Qunzhi Project. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qiao Ze was a little surprised, he really hadn't heard of this, and he didn't even know what type of award the National Science Progress Award was.

"Don't you know?"

Qiao Ze shook his head.

"That's really the thing. Brother Tan has been notified. He didn't tell you? ”

Qiao Ze thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Doudou has filtered the information." ”

In order to write the doctoral dissertation as soon as possible, Qiao Ze set the information filtering rules for Doudou in a relatively general way, except for the information related to the proposition, which was basically filtered out. Includes some internal mail.

Whether or not the group intelligence project can win an award really has nothing to do with his doctoral dissertation.

At present, the application projects of Xilin Institute of Mathematics are all centered on the application of artificial intelligence.

The main thing is that there are not many people.

Including Xu Changshu, who transferred from Yanbei, Liu Chenfeng, a temporary researcher, and Hannah, who worked with miscellaneous workers, mainly did theoretical research work.

Only the directors Li Jiangao and Tan Jingrong are cooperating with thousands of engineers from the outside world to do the application project of group intelligence, and the main work is to train the group intelligence large language model.

As for the lithography machine project hosted by Optoelectronics, there are not so many things recently. The preliminary design work has been almost completed, and the results of the computer simulation are good. Next, we have to wait until the project progress reaches a certain stage, and the test will officially start before more problems will be exposed.

The project cooperation applied by the Northern Xinjiang NLP R&D Center has not yet replied whether it agrees to change the UAV system to the deep-sea ghost system.

Now that the dissertation has been completed, Qiao Ze suddenly found that if he was not in a hurry to do the gravitational part of the grand unified proposition, he could actually take a break for a while, but that would be after the doctoral dissertation defense.

As for Chen Yiwen's careful thoughts......

……

"Hmm."

"Huh? That Joe God ......"

"What is this, I said Chen Yiwen, are you stupid? Brother Qiao, well, it means that there will be a name when you submit the list in the future, so you can rest assured. After all, you were originally a veteran of the Crowd Intelligence project team, and you have made a little contribution, but you just quit later, and you are not dead. Right, Brother Joe. ”

"Almost......" Qiao Ze replied.

"Ahem, Qiao Shen is magnificent, and the boss lady is magnificent."

The dim street lamp of the school hit Chen Yiwen's face, making the young man's whole face shine with excitement.

This is a happy life, and the awesome can continue to blow again.

The Crowd Intelligence project has nothing to do with the school.

Qiao Ze is the project leader, and Su Mucheng is the only investor. Both agreed that it would be enough to add his name to the project team list.

……

In fact, even if the Crowd Intelligence project is led by the college, Xu Dajiang will not point fingers at the personnel composition of the project team.

He didn't care about any of that right now.

During this time, he was busy defending his doctoral dissertation.

Originally, all schools had a fixed time for doctoral dissertations, but José was obviously not among them, and he went through a special channel.

Of course, the whole defense method is different from the ordinary doctoral dissertation defense.

There are two forms of doctoral dissertation defense at Xilin Institute of Technology: A/B.

But now, in order to make this defense go smoothly, the C form has been introduced. The whole process is completely different from the ordinary doctoral dissertation defense.

It can almost be understood as a report-style defense.

In particular, the invitation of the defense team.

Generally, a defense team of six or seven people is sufficient for doctoral dissertation defense, with five professors from the university and two professors from outside the university.

However, after the defense invitation was sent out this time, there were too many professors who wanted to join the defense committee.

After all, after joining, you can get the original manuscript of Qiao Ze's doctoral dissertation.

Originally, Xu Dajiang only planned to invite fifty people.

That's all there is to it, both at home and abroad.

But now the number of professors in China who want to come to hear the defense has exceeded the standard.

The number of people from abroad who are sure to come to participate in this defense has also been increasing in the past two days.

The feeling that gave him was probably pain and happiness.

After all, this is not the kind of large-scale report meeting, and it is impossible to mobilize the entire Xilin City like last time.

But at the same time, most of the people who came this time were internationally renowned academic bigwigs.

Speaking of which, the problem solved is more high-end than last time, so the reception work should not be sloppy either.

Fortunately, the school still gave enough support, and there was also the cooperation of the Academy of Sciences.

How much can Xu Dajiang take a breath.

In short, although a lot of unexpected things happened, they were all resolved in time.

The date and place of Joze's doctoral dissertation defense were also set.

On March 21, 2024, the venue of the defense was also set at the No. 1 multimedia conference room with a capacity of 230 people in the multi-functional conference center built by the university last year.

The form of the specific defence has also been changed.

In addition to the professors who make up the defense committee, other scholars can ask questions about the thesis after the defense committee's questions are completed.

60 minutes have been set aside for this session.

During the questioning period of the scholars, the members of the defense committee will go to the next door to discuss whether the defense will be passed.

However, there is a screen next door where you can see the performance of the respondent in real time during the questioning session of the scholars.

It is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of the defense in disguise.

As long as the defense committee thinks that there is no problem, you can successfully get a doctorate degree as long as you make the defense committee feel that it is okay.

However, if this mode of defense is difficult by the questions of the scholars, it will definitely affect the judgment of the defense committee.

But there's no way around it.

Qiao Ze was too lazy to hold a report meeting specifically to solve the Yang-Mills quality problem, which is an inexplicable thing for the Chinese mathematics and physics communities. I can only use this thesis defense to get things done.

Xu Dajiang didn't doubt Qiao Ze's ability, what he was afraid of was Qiao Ze's character and whether he could accept this arrangement.

Fortunately, Qiao Ze was probably in a good mood and approved of such an arrangement.

In fact, judging by the situation at the last briefing, the vast majority of people could not ask any valuable questions.

As Su Mucheng said, complex new mathematics is something that takes a certain amount of time to study and master.

Moreover, Qiao Ze can see from the research results published on the official website of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton that the understanding of supercoiled space algebra by a group of people in the world is still in a mid-stage of exploration.

Although several theorems have been proved according to the ideas he provided, many of the core theorems are still being tackled.

For example, the latest proof question on Princeton's official website that has not yet been announced has an answer.

"In supercoiled space algebra, for any two supercoiled numbers (s_1) and (s_2), there must be a helical number (s) that satisfies the following property: [ s = s_1 \oplus s_2 ]."

This is actually the most basic principle of supercoil superposition in supercoil algebra, and the explanation that ordinary people can understand is that the superposition of two supercoil numbers must be a supercoil number.

The reason why it is a fundamental theorem is that only in this way can the closure and uniqueness of supercoiled algebra be maintained, so only by proving it can supercoiled algebra have completeness and mathematical structure.

So José didn't feel the pressure at all.

It's not pride, or underestimating the heroes of the world.

The main thing is that he created two complete sets of theories. These other topics still need to be studied, and there is a complete proof process in the manuscript that he did not know who recovered it before.

The reason why they didn't choose to publish it was nothing more than that the other side had rejected his kindness before, which made Qiao Ze feel that maybe they wanted to complete the expansion of the entire algebra system through their own efforts. Rushing to solve the problem may make the other person feel humiliated.

To be honest, Josser's overall impression of Princeton was not bad, especially the dean of Lott Dugan, although he did not give him much help academically, the dean of mathematics still had great kindness towards him.

So Qiao Ze chose to give the other party the utmost respect. At most, it is just to help the opposite side come up with some related topics, so that the other side can walk on the right research path.

From this, it can be seen that Qiao Ze's nature is indeed kind, even gentle.

This tenderness also lasted until the day of his doctoral dissertation defense.

Princeton's official website still doesn't give the full process of proof of completeness, but that's understandable.

After all, it is said that all the mathematicians involved in the supercoil space algebra research team were invited to attend his doctoral graduation defense ceremony.

……

“…… The significance of solving the quality problem of the Young-Mills field will not be repeated here. But I'm more curious about what's going on at the microscopic level than the foundations of quantum chromodynamics that makes this question so interesting.

But before I explain the specific theoretical models and research results, I need to first introduce a series of concepts to all of you. This is a series of geometry problems that I have met with you on the Internet before, and I call them transcendental geometry.

This is not only because of the correspondence between transcendental geometry and supercoiled algebra, but also because transcendental geometry has the characteristics of non-locality when dealing with the Young-Mills field, which is compared with the traditional methods of local field theory. The non-localized nature enables the correlation between non-adjacent points in space, which provides a new perspective for the understanding of the quality problem of the Yang-Mills field.

At the same time, it provides our physicists with a new explanatory framework that allows the mass problem of the Young-Mills field to be described more naturally through language that transcends mathematics. This helps to eliminate some of the difficulties and contradictions in the traditional model.

I'm going to start my argument by looking at this equation: [ f(x)=\int_{\omega} e^{ax}\cdot \cos(bx), dv]. Note that this is an important formula for combining supercoiled algebra with transcendental geometry.

where (\omega) denotes a specific region of space in transcendental geometry, and (a) and (b) are parameters related to supercoil algebra......"

Josser's voice echoed through the conference hall.

Although many people in the audience showed stunned looks on their faces, compared with the last report, there was still nothing to say about discipline.

At least no one exclaimed.

But it's understandable.

At the last report meeting, everyone thought that Qiao Ze was going to talk about the existence proof process in the paper, but Qiao Ze directly gave a general explanation after taking the stage.

Although a new geometric direction was thrown out this time, it did not deviate from the scope of the problem to be discussed in the paper itself.

And there is a foresight for the proposal of transcendental geometry.

At least half of the physicists who came to the scene were for the geometry problems that Qiao Ze posted on the Internet.

So when Qiao Ze officially began to explain his proof process, countless mobile phones were lifted on the scene and began to shoot the content projected on the big screen PPT.

For these physicists, this is indeed valuable information for future research.

Although the process of the live defense must have been videotaped.

Theoretically, the university has every reason not to provide this kind of doctoral dissertation defense to the scholars on site.

So it's safest to take a picture first.

Of course, there are people who don't have these actions.

For example, Edward Witten, who was sitting in the third row, just spread the notebook on his lap and quickly wrote down the formula that Joser had just said. He didn't even bring a simultaneous interpreter headset because he had communicated with the mathematical symbols and knew what they meant.

Schultz, who was sitting next to him, suddenly leaned into his ear and said, "This formula looks interesting, have you thought of it?" ”

"So you're not going to take notes?" Edward Witten couldn't help but ask.

"Well, aren't you taking notes?"

"Okay......" Edward Witten glanced at Lott Dugan, who was listening with relish not far away, and suddenly wanted to change seats.

……

“…… From the above proof, it can be seen that under the interaction between AJ and BJ, the topological phase transition occurs due to the coupling term, that is, by adjusting the sum_j and \xi, the phase transition of the mass gap will be directly caused, and the specific phase transition must conform to the equation: v =\sum_j (a_jb_j +ext{.}).

The above is the complete proof idea. Once again, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Li Jiangao, for his guidance in my life, and this thesis can be said to have been officially completed after I met him. ”

Qiao Ze's last sentence made Li Jiangao's face subconsciously red.

But in fact, except for the members of the defense committee in the front row, who will subconsciously glance at Li Jiangao, not many of the scholars in the back row who are watching the ceremony pay attention to Qiao Ze's words. Especially physicists.

What is this?

If this paper is correct, wouldn't it be possible to directly predict the energy level reactions under the relevant parameters according to the model it gives?

Theoretically, Josser's paper is indeed a different way to prove the mass gap hypothesis.

Because he not only gives the source of the mass of quarks and gluons, but also proves a complete model of the interaction between quarks and gluons under the action of strong force. It even gives the possibility that physicists can not only indirectly measure the mass it produces, but even actively regulate it......

If the model can be validated in the laboratory, it is conceivable that the standard model will have to be changed again......

The scholars began to look at each other, but fortunately, the discipline in the defense room was still under control.

After all, this time the school specifically emphasized that today is the doctoral dissertation graduation defense.

Please be sure to abide by the defense discipline.

Even if there is a sound of ear-to-ear contact, the volume has been kept to a minimum. But the shock and surprise in the eyes of those who looked at each other could not hide it.

It can only be said that the advancement of mathematics is indeed an important part of the progress of physics.

Really, the physicists on the scene probably hoped that the model given by Joser was correct. Because it could involve the Nobel Prize in Physics five to ten years later, or even less.

Fortunately, soon, the host of the scene announced that he had entered the defense link.

For the defense committee, in fact, this link is just a formality.

The question of choice has already been prepared, and no one has made it difficult.

"Well, may I ask Dr. Josser, in your paper, is there a clear mathematical justification for the choice of specific forms and parameters in the formula d on page thirteen of the paper? For example, why was a particular transcendence function or supercoil path chosen? Is this based on some mathematical properties or implications from experimental observations? ”

"I note that there are scholars in the committee who believe that your second theorem of transcendental geometry may fail under certain conditions, and its solution is divergent. Have you considered this view? Is there any further explanation of the scope of applicability and consistency of the formula? ”

"Excuse me......"

……

A total of seven questions were raised by the Defence Committee.

Well, in fact, they can't be counted as specific questions, and they can even be said to be a few questions specially designed to take care of the scholars who come to watch the ceremony today.

This allows José to explain more clearly some of the key points in the paper that are difficult to understand.

It can be understood as a unique Chinese courtesy.

After all, there are many scholars from abroad in today's defense. In particular, many scholars who are themselves studying theoretical physics may have a relatively shallow understanding of number theory. Let Qiao Ze speak in more detail will help the scholars who are watching the ceremony to straighten out Qiao Ze's thoughts more clearly.

José spent about half an hour explaining the questions raised by the defense committee.

Then the host invited the experts of the defense committee and the tutor Li Jiangao to leave the venue according to the previously set procedure, and went next door to discuss whether the paper was passed.

……

Robert Stephen immediately raised his hand.

I have to say that when Qiao Ze spoke on stage just now, he listened very carefully.

Although there are many things that he can't understand for the time being, this does not prevent him from keenly discovering a big loophole in Qiao Ze's paper.

This has long made him excited.

He could feel that everyone's emotions had been mobilized at this time, and even some people around him had begun to discuss how to do reproducible experiments based on the model given in Josser's paper to verify whether the rules given by the model were correct.

Sure enough, these physics students lack a little basic mathematical literacy, and the defense committee is even more amateurish, and no one has mentioned such an obvious loophole for the time being.

Well, he can admit that both supercoiled space algebra and transcendental geometry are indeed genius ideas. But what did he say before? Qiao Ze is still too young and utilitarian, and he is not even willing to sink down to ponder those details.

Now he can wake up this frivolous guy in public.

It's a pity that the host didn't click on him, but directly clicked on Schultz, who was sitting further in front.

This once made Robert Stephen a little apprehensive.

He suspected that Schultz had also been keenly aware of the loophole he had found.

Although it didn't matter who brought up the loophole, Robert Stephen still wanted him to stand up and speak loudly and question, and look Qiao Ze in the eye, telling the young man that he was not God Almighty.

Fortunately, Schultz's question was not the same as his, not even a question, but a further need, which also made Robert Stephen a little disdainful of this young genius scholar recognized in the Western world.

"If we perturbate a parameter of (f(x)), how does that affect the results of your study? Can you give us some demos on site? ”

"Okay."

Robert Stephen looked at Qiao Ze coldly, and after agreeing dryly, he picked up the chalk and began to give a series of formulas for the parameters on the blackboard in the conference room. Another bunch of people raised their phones and started filming......

The moment José put down the chalk, he immediately raised his hand again.

This time, the host finally gave him the opportunity.

Robert Stephen also couldn't wait to stand up, took the notebook and raised his question: "I'm sorry, I think there is a major omission in your paper's proof, on page 7 of your paper you gave a lemma three result is: [0t_{ext{super}}=\int_{\omega} e^{ax}\cdot \cos(bx), dv].

Then let's look at the twelfth page of the paper, when you prove that the norm is theorem 2, the lemma result r(x)=\frac{\alpha}{x^2}] is contradictory, so it can be seen that the subsequent series of related proofs are based on a false theorem, what is your explanation for this? ”

Robert Stephen Ang stood there, staring at José and speaking his question.

He had expected that Qiao Ze would start to panic at this moment because he didn't know how to explain this loophole, and even babbled nonsense in an attempt to prevaricate the past.

But to his surprise, Qiao Ze just glanced at him, then looked away, looked at the host, and said simply: "Change the next question." ”
