Xueba starts with change

Chapter 586 Come from afar, there are no empty seats

Hearing Deligne's ridicule, Witten didn't care at all.

He smiled and said, "Professor Deligne, who said that only physicists can come to the mathematics report meeting? You know, mathematics still serves physics most of the time?"

Deligne smiled, but did not speak.

This leaves other physicists alone, and Deligne may have many reasons to refute.

After all, other physicists do not have such a good mathematical foundation as Witten.

But from Witten's mouth, Deligne didn't want to refute.

On the other hand, Faltings snorted softly and said, "Wei Teng, if you have this time, why not study your string theory carefully, just like Chen Zhou, not only can you achieve great research results in theory, but also in In terms of experiments, he is equally concerned."

Upon hearing this, Witten immediately corrected: "It's not string theory, it's M theory!"

Seeing Wei Teng's eagerness to correct, Faltins had a rare smile on his always staid face.

As the founder of M theory, Witten actually doesn't like others to refer to his theory as string theory.

Like Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory.

After all, in the 90s, string theory split into several large, mutually exclusive schools based on different mathematical models.

It wasn't until Witten took the shot that he dominated the world of string theory.

It's a pity that both M theory and string theory have gone further and further away from mainstream physics in the long river of time.

Because of the things in the theory, none of them can be verified.

What's more, it is also believed that string theory does not belong to the category of physics, but belongs to the concept of pure mathematics.

This is also the biggest reason why Witten has never been able to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Deligne, who was standing on the side, also laughed, and said with great meaning: "I think you might as well communicate with Chen Zhou, if you make him interested in your M theory, maybe, In your lifetime, you still have the chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics."

Wei Teng opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent as if discouraged.

Seeing this, Deligne reached out and patted Witten on the shoulder, no longer teasing, but encouraged: "You, you have already won the Fields Medal that many people dream of. As for the future of M theory, I will leave it to you. Those young men."

Wei Teng turned his head slightly, glanced at Deligne, pondered for two seconds, and suddenly said: "If you say that Chen Zhou is interested, he can really make another breakthrough in the theory of M? Or, can he learn from the experiment? Go up and verify it?"

Hearing Wei Teng's words, Deligne was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wei Teng to take his jokes seriously.

It seems that this guy's obsession with M theory is still a bit deep.

Deligne shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid only Chen Zhou knows about this."

Wei Teng withdrew his gaze, but there was a hint of hope in his eyes.

On the other hand, Faltings looked at these two people helplessly.

As far as he knew, Deligne put the hope of the standard conjecture on Chen Zhou.

And now, Wei Teng is going to make the same choice with a high probability.

Faltins suddenly felt a little emotional, feeling that their youth was no longer, and they were in their twilight years.

Otherwise, with the personalities of these two people, how could they think about the future?

How could it be possible to expect, with the help of others?

However, Faltins did not have much objection to the Chen Zhou chosen by the two.

Judging from the current situation, it is true that only Chen Zhou can realize the wish of the two of them.

Faltins once asked Deligne why he didn't choose Schulz, who is known as Grothendieck's successor.

Deligne had told him so.

"Although Schultz is also a leader among young mathematicians, there is one thing missing in Schultz, that is endurance other than genius!"

Deligne did not explain to Faltings what the phrase "endurance of genius" meant.

But according to Faltings' own understanding, it should refer to the staying power and innovation of genius.

Or……

While Faltins was thinking, Deligne and Witten had already chatted about the content of today's report.

Faltins, whose thoughts were interrupted by the voices of the two, stopped thinking about it, walked straight to the two, and said softly, "Let's go to the venue first."

When the three of them came to the auditorium of Yanda University, the auditorium was already crowded with people.

The report will start at 9:8 in the morning, and it is only [-]:[-] at the moment.

The three of Faltings walked into the auditorium under the leadership of the on-site staff.

When they came to the auditorium, the three of them discovered that there seemed to be more people inside than outside.

If it weren't for the staff to maintain the order at the scene, the inside of the auditorium would have been blocked.

After simply scanning around, Wei Teng found that many physicists he knew had also come here.

Like Witten, Faltings and Deligne also found a lot of people they knew.

Among these people, there are mathematicians and scholars in other fields.

As the three of them saw, and as Deligne said.

In this report meeting, not only mathematicians came here.

The three of them didn't go to say hello to the acquaintances, after all, it was not easy to squeeze past.

Under the special maintenance of the staff, he sat down in the reserved seat and waited for the start of the report meeting.

As time went by, more and more people gathered in the auditorium of several courtyards.

If you count most of the young scholars, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has attracted nearly half of the academic circles.

So much so that when Chen Zhou came here, looking at the crowded scene, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Although he thought of it, many people may come.

But it never occurred to me that so many people would come.

It's just that it's different from the three of Faltins.

Chen Zhou did not enter the auditorium under the leadership of the staff.

When the people around the auditorium noticed Chen Zhou, they consciously stepped aside.

Let today's protagonist walk into the auditorium calmly.

At the backstage of the auditorium, Dean Sun and others were already waiting here.

After seeing Chen Zhou, Dean Sun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Chen Zhou promised to keep the time of the report meeting unchanged, isn't there a contingency in everything?
What if Chen Zhou's neutrino oscillation subject encounters any unexpected situation?

Wouldn't that trip Chen Zhou?
"There are still 20 minutes, do you want to prepare?"

Dean Sun asked aloud.

Chen Zhou, who was taking out his laptop from his backpack, shook his head lightly: "Just prepare the projection and whiteboard on site."

Dean Sun smiled slightly: "You can rest assured that you are satisfied."

"Then there's no problem." Chen Zhou replied softly.

Ten minutes before the scheduled time, Chen Zhou appeared on the podium in the auditorium.

With the appearance of Chen Zhou, the noisy auditorium gradually became quieter.

Everyone's eyes focused on Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou turned on the computer on his own, and began to test whether the projector could be used.

And Dean Sun is just below the podium, ready to support Chen Zhou at any time.

Dean Sun is in charge of directing and dispatching this report meeting.

Move your gaze from Chen Zhou to the packed auditorium.

Dean Sun couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, Yan University has not been this lively for many years.

The current scene really came from afar, and there were no empty seats!
After everything was ready, Chen Zhou checked the time, it was exactly 9:[-].

Glancing at the audience, Chen Zhou cleared his throat and said, "Welcome everyone to come from afar to attend today's report..."

After a brief opening, Chen Zhou went directly to the main topic.

"As we all know, there are always two big mountains in front of the research of the minimal model program. These are the two major problems of the minimal model program..."

The research results on the two major problems of the minimal model program, and the Z-theory that plays an important role in it.

One by one appeared on the projection screen.

Chen Zhou switched slides at a comfortable pace.

Explain the core content in a simple way.

Chen Zhou also tried his best to explain clearly what might be confusing.

But even so, there are many people who still don't understand.

There are still many people who only understand the previous question.

In the following content, I have no idea what Chen Zhou is talking about.

However, whether they understood or not, these people were still holding notebooks and memorizing something quickly.

For this rare opportunity, no one wants to waste it.

Even if you don't understand it now, you can study it slowly later.

After all, Mr. Chen Zhou's explanation is only this time.

But for some people, Chen Zhou's simple explanation saved them a lot of time.

The doubts they brought are also decreasing one by one.

From 9:10 to [-]:[-], a full hour.

Chen Zhou presented all the research results of the minimal model program.

Then came the question period.

This is also the time that Chen Zhou has controlled.

For the two-hour report meeting, one hour belongs to him.

Another hour, his acting moment.

As for the content of the new formula, it was placed in the afternoon.

That's right, today's report meeting was divided into two halves.

The morning is the content of the minimal model program, and the afternoon is the content of the new formula.

"The above is the relevant research content on the minimal model program, and now we will enter the questioning session!"

Chen Zhou switched the slideshow back to the first page, and said to everyone in the audience at the same time.

As Chen Zhou's voice fell, the entire venue gradually became lively after a brief silence.

Facing one question after another, Chen Zhou quickly switched slides while answering them.

Intuitively display the part corresponding to that question in front of everyone.

After answering some of the questions, Chen Zhou's attention began to focus on the faces of some familiar people in the audience.

The previous questions can only be regarded as a warm-up.

When Chen Zhou focused on these people, these people did not disappoint Chen Zhou.

"I want to know, how do you determine the limited number of operations when performing blow down operations on a given algebraic variety? To be precise, how did you obtain the formulas 7-9 in your paper?"

Faltings' voice was not loud, but it attracted a lot of attention.

For this man who used algebraic geometry to prove the Model's conjecture in number theory.

Most of the people here still know each other.

At least, have seen the photos.

Therefore, as soon as Faltings spoke, some people who were planning to ask questions consciously lowered their raised arms.

Chen Zhou on the stage smiled slightly after hearing this question, and then began to explain the question.

"In the process of obtaining a very small model..."

In the process of explaining, Chen Zhou quietly made a gesture to Dean Sun, indicating that the other party can bring up the whiteboard prepared in advance.

After the staff lifted the whiteboard to the podium, Chen Zhou also just said: "In fact, in the process of obtaining formulas 7-9, I also adopted a little trick. This little trick can be regarded as the content of Z-theory. It can be regarded as the content of Professor Schultz's p-adic perfect space theory..."

After speaking, Chen Zhou walked to the whiteboard, unscrewed the cap of the marker pen, and began to write on it.

Faltings, who heard his words, suddenly figured out something.

At this time, Deligne's voice just happened to sound in his ears: "That's why I chose him."

As for Schultz, who was mentioned by Chen Zhou, he showed an inexplicable smile.

So much so that Tao Zhexuan, who was beside him, couldn't hear what he said to him.

A white board, with nearly one-fifth of the space remaining, Chen Zhou stopped the pen in his hand.

Immediately, Chen Zhou turned around and looked at Faltings: "Professor Faltings, I think the content on the whiteboard is enough to explain your question just now."

Faltins glanced at Chen Zhou and said aloud, "I have no other questions."

Chen Zhou smiled and turned to look at the others.

However, what surprised Chen Zhou was that after Faltings, the number of people asking questions dropped significantly.

In the end, there was still some left in the hour he reserved.

Chen Zhou also understood this.

A big cow like Faltings has no problems, so even if other people don't understand it, they won't ask some innocuous questions.

Instead of asking a question that makes the math leaders here despise, it is better to hold it in your heart.

Wait until the report meeting is over, and then slowly study Chen Zhou's thesis.

Dean Sun beside the podium had a proud expression on his face after seeing this situation.

How many years has it been since another person like this has appeared in the Huaguo mathematics world!
Amid warm applause, Chen Zhou ended the first half of today's report.

The report meeting in the first half can be said to be extremely smooth.

For those who came to the report meeting, they can be regarded as full of harvest.

After Chen Zhou removed the two big mountains in front of the minimal model program, they were able to flex their muscles in this field.

Of course, all of this has to wait until they have thoroughly understood Chen Zhou's thesis and the content of Z-theory.

After a short half-time break at noon.

2 p.m. exactly.

The second-half report meeting, which belongs to the new formula, arrived as scheduled.

Compared with the report meeting in the first half, the second half attracted even more people.

If we talk about the report meeting in the first half, many people came to make up the numbers.

The report meeting in the second half is their main goal.

After thoroughly understanding the new formula, in this report meeting, I found the answer to my confusion.

It is their ultimate goal.

Only in this way can they give full play to the true power of the new formula that Chen Zhou has endowed with universal applicability.

Only then can this new formula shine in many fields!
