Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Princeton University, a cafe on the corner of the campus.

The bright old man sat in the corner, drinking coffee while looking at the paper in his hand.

Sitting across from him is Edward Witten, who is also enjoying afternoon tea.

Looking at the papers in the hands of old friends, the old gentleman asked with a smile.

"What are you looking at?"

“An interesting paper submission,” Professor Delini said, turning a page, casually saying, “About the Polignac conjecture.”

After a pause, he couldn’t help but add a sentence with a thumbs up, "very interesting proof."

Edward Witten: "Lu Zhou?"

"Yes," holding a ballpoint pen and making several marks on the paper, Deligne continued in a chattering voice, "I missed the academic report and it is definitely your biggest loss this year."

Witten smiled and said: "Haha, I agree with you, especially after I have seen myself, my regrets are even stronger."

Deligne looked up at him unexpectedly: "Oh? When did you go to the other side of the Pacific?"

Witten: "It's the other side of the Atlantic. Have you forgotten that I just came back from there?"

Deligne raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you met the kid at ern?"

Witten said with a smile: "Did you not read the news recently?"

Deligne shook his head without thinking, "Is there no attention, is there anything new?"

Witten: "The lhb International Cooperation Group published a message on the discovery of five grams of particles, and found a characteristic peak of a suspected supersymmetric particle signal at 750 gev."

"Oh, congratulations, you are one step closer to the Nobel Prize." Deligne said casually.

In a nutshell, supersymmetry discusses a symmetry between a fermion and a boson, which can be seen to some extent as a low-energy deduction of superstring theory.

If the superstring theory holds, then supersymmetric particles must exist.

So the reverse is that if supersymmetric particles are found, they can provide powerful experimental evidence for superstring theory (not proof!).

But if you can't find it, the superstring theory that has developed for nearly 30 years will be deadlocked.

However, Deligne is not particularly concerned about the physics community. Although he and his late teachers have done a lot of research in the field of physics, his focus is on pure mathematics.

Especially number theory, and algebraic geometry.

"Congratulations are still too early," Witten smiled and said in a joking tone. "I feel that my Nobel Prize has to be ranked behind Stephen Hawking... There is no chance in this life. ""

To get the gunpowder award, it must be an experimentally proven theory. Finding the string that makes up the universe is much more difficult than making a black hole to prove the black hole evaporation theory.

The latter is theoretically achievable, requiring only enough collision energy, creating a black hole on a tiny scale, and improving the observation equipment to observe this black hole that evaporates at the speed of light.

But the former, but not the Hadron Collider, can solve several levels of energy, but it needs the minimum observation scale of human civilization, and goes deeper into two levels to observe the one-dimensional level.

With the existing technical means, Imagine fully proves the superstring theory, just as the ancients put a firecracker under the stool and want to go to the moon as whimsical.

Hearing the old friend’s self-deprecating, Deligne smiled faintly and said casually: “He was listening to the report at the time?”

Witten smiled and said: "I don't listen to the report, it is a report. You dare to believe that the 750gev clue was actually presented by an intern at the report. He used the probabilistic method to calculate. The probability of a characteristic peak appears in the 750 gev energy zone, and then you guess what happened? The ern researcher did a month of experiments, and the feature peak was found on the two detectors of the hadron collider."

Deligne, who had been staring at the paper, squinted slightly. After a while, he said with a little unexpected tone: "...I didn't expect him to have such talent in physics."

"Yeah," Mr. Witten nodded and nodded. "I heard that he will come to Princeton next year, and I intend to accept him as a student."

De Ligne snorted: "... It depends on his own choices. I personally think that his talent in number theory is still better."

Edward Witten smiled and didn't speak.

No one wants to bring a fool.

This problem is the same in reverse.

At this moment, Professor Delini, who turned the paper to the last page, suddenly twitched his brow.

Witten was interested in asking: "What happened?"

Deligne shook his head and his expression returned to nature.

"It's nothing."

He also praised the clever use of the group theory method in the paper, studied the "group structure method" mentioned in the paper, and saw the last line. The kid was mischievous enough to leave a sentence and could not write.

If you don't look at the really good part of this paper, he will definitely fight back to let this kid rewrite.

......

A major conjecture proves that it takes a certain amount of time, and it takes a lot of time to test its correctness.

Lu Zhou doesn't know how long this time is. The only hope is that the reviewer's action is faster. It is best to finish it before the end of this year.

The proof of the Polignac conjecture came to an end, and in the following time, Lu Zhou put all his energy on the subject of Mr. Frank.

Mr. Frank always communicates with him from time to time by super-symmetric supplement theory. Although Lu Zhou has doubts about this theory, he still put the dispute on hold in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

There is no way to let him pick up the problem from a mathematical point of view, but he wants to build a theory by himself, and his current level is not enough.

The main part of this supersymmetric complement theory is mainly done by Mr. Frank, who is responsible for processing the data and repairing the mathematical loopholes of the theory from a mathematical point of view, making it look more mathematically aesthetic.

Don't underestimate this work, this is very important.

The reason why string theory can be accepted by people is precisely because of its mathematical beauty, it is really impeccable.

The time soon arrived in October, and Academician Lu called Lu Zhou to the office.

"On the 20th, let's go to Beijing. I have already booked your ticket for you. You should pay attention to the time."

"Okay...Professor, can you tell us what we are doing?" Lu Zhou finally couldn’t stand the curiosity in his heart and asked.

Academician Lu smiled and unexpectedly did not sell the customs. He said: "In fact, there is nothing. It is the Twelfth National Congress of the Chinese Mathematical Society. It is just the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party. Several old guys proposed to have a unique style. Commemorating the academic conference, fortunately, the two conferences were opened together. Just as the old man Qiu came over, I will take you to the past."

Lying in the trough?

Is this called nothing?

This is a big deal!

However, Lu Zhou’s strange thing is that this conference is not usually open in the month? How to advance to the end of October? And if you are engaged in physics, how can you relate to the academic conference of mathematics?

However, these are not the key points. The key point is that Lu Zhou remembers that it is necessary to invite invitations to participate in such meetings.

In the end, Lu Zhou asked this question: "Can there be no invitation?"

"The invitation is here, you don't have to worry about it, just follow me and it will be a good thing for you." Academician Lu smiled and waved his hand and continued, "Yes, I remember you reported it." The topic I applied for was the Polignac conjecture. Have you had any new research results recently? If there is, I suggest that you can apply for a report, which is a good opportunity."

Reporting at such top-level academic conferences in China is of great help to a scholar's academic reputation in China. Although Academician Lu is engaged in theoretical physics, he always has to deal with people in the mathematics community. So it is no stranger to things in the mathematics world.

But at this moment, he still does not know that the proof paper of Polygnac's conjecture has been cast into the "Year of Mathematics" by this kid, and has now even entered the peer review process.

The papers that have been submitted to the journals have not made more novel research results on this basis, and they cannot be cast in the academic conference as they are, because this is a multi-project.

Lu Zhou thought about it carefully. Apart from the Polignac conjecture, he seems to have no interesting research results recently.

However, his "group structure", which he created when he studied the Polignac conjecture, seems to be a research result.

Simply put this "group structure" theory into a paper, and submit it at this academic conference!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou had an idea in his heart. He watched Dr. Lu smile and said seriously: "I will prepare well."

Academician Lu nodded with a smile: "That's it, you will go back and prepare. Right, the deadline for submission seems to be next Friday. You should try to hurry up, I will not delay your time."

Lu Zhou: "...???"

Hold the grass!

Then tell me now? !
