Chapter 627 A Common Monument in the History of Physics and Mathematics!
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
It is still the auditorium of the old campus of Jinling University.
Although the audience at the scene was one-fifth less than yesterday, the atmosphere at the scene was still quite fiery.
Responding to the audience's gaze, Lu Zhou, standing on the stage, wrote on the blackboard while explaining the details of the steps.
As one blackboard was filled with writing, the staff quickly dragged another one, and neatly arranged the blackboard full of writing on the stage.
In this way, the staff went to the stage five times, and the blackboard was filled with six sheets.
When Lu Zhou wrote the last line, that is, the last general explanation, the audience stood up excitedly.
Thunderous applause spread from the front row to the back row like a tide, filling the entire report meeting site in an instant.
Looking at the blackboards on the stage, Edward Witten, who applauded, smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go back early, or I really missed this historic moment."
There was also a smile on Deligne's face, and he said with a little emotion.
"Maybe his talent in other areas of mathematics is indeed much stronger than in algebraic geometry."
Hearing this, Fefferman joked, "Don't be discouraged, maybe he just hasn't become interested in algebraic geometry problems for the time being. When he becomes interested, maybe the whole algebraic geometry world will be destroyed by him." The results were astonishing."
Deligne smiled noncommittally.
"I hope one day."
The ups and downs of applause gradually subsided.
It comes in like a tide, and fades away like a tide.
As the audience sat down again, Lu Zhou stopped the chalk in his hand.
Looking back at the auditorium, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and spoke slowly.
"With regard to the Yang-Mills equation, we have already obtained its general solution. As for the interaction relationship between microscopic particles, as well as the form of their existence or motion, we will also gain a deeper understanding from a mathematical point of view."
"In the next step, I will try to explain the mass gap problem of the strong interaction from a mathematical point of view."
Hearing the astonishment from the auditorium, Lu Zhou paused for a moment before continuing to speak.
"Next is the questioning session."
...
The solution of a proposition is different from the proof of a proposition.
The latter requires rigorous proof thinking, and cannot tolerate a little error.
The former, even if it does not provide any process, or even just a guess about the result, is allowed by the academic community.
Just like when Hualin wrote "Meditations on Algebra", he proposed that "every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of at most r powers of k, where r depends on k", and boldly predicted that g(2)=4, g(3)=9, g(4)=19 are the same.
When he wrote these conclusions, he did not provide a clear solution idea, and the proof of the existence of g(k), as well as the subsequent numerical solutions, will be solved in the next century and a half.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Lu Zhou doesn't give a perfect solution.
At most, it leaves a suspense for future generations, allowing them to seek a solution process with mathematical aesthetics in the next half century or a century, and use mathematical methods instead of computers to test whether this conjecture is true or not. correct……
In short, with the end of the questioning session, the report meeting came to a successful conclusion, and the scholars who visited China also got on the return plane.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Jinling International Airport.
Edward Witten, who was sitting in the waiting room waiting for his flight, just picked up a magazine and was about to sit down and read it, when he was immediately blocked by a reporter.
"Professor Witten, what do you think of this report?"
"This is an excellent report. I would like to thank Professor Lu who brought this report to us. I also thank Jinling University for its warm hospitality. I still miss that... Jinling Roast Duck? It seems to be said in Chinese .” With a half-baked Mandarin in the middle of a series of English, Witten jokingly joked with the reporter.
Regardless of whether there was a joke caught or not, the reporter also smiled, and then continued to ask: "Then how do you evaluate the content of this report meeting?"
After hearing this question, Witten thought for a while before speaking.
"There is no doubt that this is a milestone achievement for both the history of mathematics and the history of physics. We have found the general solution of the Yang-Mills equation, which means that we can learn more deeply from the perspective of mathematics. Understanding the secrets of the microscopic particle world, revealing physical phenomena that we have not yet discovered but exist."
"From the perspective of a theoretical physicist and mathematical physicist, I think this will be the most outstanding research achievement of this year."
Reporter: "Even if this year has just started?"
"Yes, I'm sure of that." Glancing at his watch, seeing that the time was almost up, Witten looked at the reporter and continued, "If you have any questions, you'd better hurry up, I'll be ready to board in five minutes at the most."
If the situation is optimistic, he will still be able to catch up with the CERN meeting.
However, compared to what he gained from this trip to China, what he can get in Switzerland already seems to be dispensable.
"I promise, this is the last question," quickly flipping through the shorthand notebook, the reporter selected the most topical question, and asked, "Someone criticized Professor Lu for saying that his sudden departure during the report meeting would be of great concern to those present. Scholars are a great offense, as an internationally renowned scholar, how do you view this matter?"
"I can't talk about internationally renowned scholars," Witten smiled, and joked a little modestly, "At least I still lack a Nobel Prize compared to Professor Lu."
After the joke, he paused for a moment, then continued.
"Generally speaking, unless there is a reason, no one will choose to leave halfway. After all, it is related to whether his argument can be recognized by other academic colleagues. But if there is something that has to be done, at least I personally I think that's understandable."
Reporter: "So you think this accusation is baseless?"
"Well, at least after seeing such an excellent result, I don't have any more thoughts except to be satisfied," Witten smiled and continued in a relaxed tone, "If you want to ask for my opinion , I think that to use such inexplicable reasons to criticize a scholar who has made an outstanding contribution to the edifice of theoretical physics while superficially thinking that we are as superficial as he is, and not kidding..."
"I think that's the biggest offense to us."
