Chapter 608 Will Be Bald
Just five minutes after the get out of class ended, the circle of friends on the Jinda campus was overwhelmed by a physics class.
[Grip the grass, Lu Shen came to our physics class just now. 】
【Which class? 】
[Zhang Zhongqing's quantum mechanics, what other course could it be? 】
[Grip the grass, Lu Shen's physics class? Which classroom? ? ? 】
[What time is it, get out of class is already over! 】
【Have get out of class finished? Damn, can't these big cows give a notice in advance? T.T]
There are a lot of people living in the university, but there are also a lot of people who really know how to seize the opportunity, especially in the top five universities in China, there are still quite a lot of scholars.
For those students of the Academy of Sciences who are interested in going further academically, this opportunity to listen to Daniel's lectures is naturally not missed if they can grasp it.
After all, such opportunities are rare.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. In many cases, even just listening to an idea is much more useful than slowly chewing through the book by yourself. Because these things are often not learned in classrooms and books...
After coming out of the classroom, Lu Zhou walked straight to the direction of the Nursing Institute.
The only thing he wants to do now is to record his previous inspirations.
In fact, evidence for the "mass gap" of strong interactions has been obtained in theoretical physics experiments and verified by computer simulations.
However, how to explain it from a mathematical point of view is still an unsolved mystery.
To put it bluntly, this is a complex physics problem for most mathematicians. And for most physicists, it's another mathematical puzzle.
The solution to this problem is likely to be based on the simultaneous discovery of new mathematics as well as new physics.
When faced with this problem, Lu Zhou did not dare to say that he was completely sure.
After all, theoretical physics is not strictly his area of expertise.
During his time at Princeton, his main research problems were basically concentrated in the field of mathematics. Except for the discovery of the 750GeV signal, he basically has no more research results in the field of theoretical physics.
If at Princeton, he would choose to seek advice from Edward Witten or Dean Goddard, both of whom are experts in theoretical physics and have deep insights into unified field theory.
But now, he can only communicate with these old friends in academia through email. And many questions are difficult to explain clearly in the email.
And here in the country...
To be honest, it's really hard to find someone to discuss this issue.
Mr. Yang Lao, one of the founders of this field, is probably very happy to discuss this issue with him, but at the age of nearly 100 years old, Lu Zhou really does not want to embarrass him.
Especially when he thinks of Professor Attia and his five-page paper on the Riemann conjecture, he basically has no expectations for it.
After all, age is like a curse to scholars...
"Can you only rely on yourself?"
Sitting down on the office chair, Lu Zhou, who picked up the pen, muttered to himself, stretched out his hand and wrote a line of words on the paper, describing the whole problem in mathematical language.
[Prove: For any compact simple group G, there exists a mass quantum Young Mills field on R^4 with G as the gauge group, and there is a mass gap > 0]
The tip of the pen lightly touched the scratch paper, staring at the white paper with only one line written on it, Lu Zhou fell into contemplation.
Although he didn't have a great grasp on how to solve this problem, he still had ideas for solving the problem.
First, this huge proposition can be split into two parts.
The proof of the first part can be done by mathematical methods alone.
That is, mathematically prove the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations or find that general solution.
This part may not be useful for physicists, after all, they have obtained the conclusions they want through high-energy experiments and computer simulations, but for mathematicians, the meaning of being able to find a general solution to this system of equations is not the same. generally.
As Edward Witten once said, if anyone can accomplish this feat, he and his credit will be a milestone for 21st century mathematics to catch up with 20th century theoretical physics...
Of course, after all, this sentence was said by a physicist who won the Fields Medal, and Lu Zhou had reservations about it. In his opinion, mathematics has its own development trajectory, and he never thought that mathematics needs to catch up with physics.
However, if you have to be serious on this topic, you will go too far.
As for the second part, it involves more core content.
Namely, proof of mass gap.
If this proof can be completed, both the mathematics community and the physics community will benefit a lot, because this proof will not only give birth to new mathematical methods, but also mean to clarify those natural rules that physicists have not yet fully understood, and even On this basis, a further part of the theory is proposed.
For example, unifying the strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction...
If it does, the entire physics community will take a big step toward a grand unified theory.
Time passed quietly.
Facing the mathematical proposition on the scratch paper, he fell into contemplation. Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the desk, held a ballpoint pen, but apart from a series of ink dots, he did not write a single number.
It wasn't until almost six o'clock that the bell from the next building floated outside the window, and Lu Zhou seemed to have come back to his senses, and wrote two lines of calculations on the paper.
Then, he stood up and left the office.
Meanwhile, in the office.
About two minutes passed.
He glanced at the door and saw that Lu Zhou didn't seem to have any plans to come back. Feng Jin, who was writing at his desk, stopped the pen in his hand and stood up.
Half an hour ago, he noticed that Lu Zhou was sitting there motionless "in a daze".
Having been in this office for a while, it was the first time he noticed Lu Zhou's expression on a certain question.
Curious about what the problem was, the instructor was stumped. He pretended to go to the water dispenser to fetch water, intending to pass by Lu Zhou's desk and look at what the problem was written on the paper.
After all, he is also a scholar of Jindashu Academy. If he can help, is it possible that his tutor will be impressed by his abilities?
However, the reality is cruel.
When he saw the formula on the paper, he was stunned.
[HΛ(L)=∑(rows)∑(c)·h^(c,c+1)+∑(columns)∑(r)·h^(r,r+1)+∑(i∈Λ( L))·h(i)]
【…】
Feng Jin: "...???"
Hold the grass, what's this writing?
At this time, seeing that it was almost time, He Changwen, who was about to get up and go to the cafeteria to settle dinner, stood up.
Just noticed the younger brother standing in front of Lu Zhou's desk with a confused look, the doctor who was looking at the old man coughed and reminded.
"Don't look at the tutor's stuff."
It seemed that he felt that this sentence was not convincing, and he then added a sentence later.
"Going bald."
Feng Jin: "..."
Liu Siyuan: "..."
Han Mengqi: "..."
