Chapter 262 Scholar's Response

Not only Huaxia, but all universities and scientific research institutions in all countries in the world, as long as it is related to mathematics and physics, they will organize people to conduct research as soon as they get the journals.

Princeton, Institute for Advanced Study.

An old man is holding five special editions of "Chronicles of Mathematics" and is carefully reading each one. If any mathematician or physicist sees it, he will respectfully call out Professor Witten.

This one is the well-known 'Edward Witten' in the world of mathematics and physics!
Edward Witten, who was born in 1951, is 63 years old this year, but he is a master of mathematics and physics. Few people have reached the top of the world in mathematics and physics like him.He has deep physical intuition and superb mathematical ability, and he specializes in quantum field theory, string theory and related topology and geometry.His major contributions include proofs of the positive energy theorem for general relativity, supersymmetry and Morse theory, topological quantum field theory, superstring compactification, mirror symmetry, supersymmetric gauge theory, and conjectures on the existence of M-theory.

Professor Witten made extensive contributions to theoretical physics and also contributed to a number of important mathematical advances.He has published more than 350 books, mainly in the related fields of quantum field theory, string theory, topology, and geometry.Witten is widely regarded in the world of physics as one of the most important theoretical physicists of the 20th century.Although in some respects it is difficult to categorize his profound contributions, Witten's contributions in physics focused on supersymmetry and in mathematics on topology.

When he was young, Witten believed that the mechanism of supersymmetry violation provided a natural explanation for a series of problems, the solution of the so-called cascade problem.In the theory of supersymmetry, the Witten index is used to judge whether the supersymmetry is broken.He and Nathan Seberg at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton developed the Seberg-Witten theory.

Of course, it is string theory that has completely established Professor Witten's position in the world of mathematics and physics. String theory is a theory used to explain all natural forces. In 1984, Witten's gravity anomaly made an important contribution, paving the way for the first string theory revolution. At the USC String Theory Conference in the mid-1990s, Witten speculated that there was a undiscovered unifying theory, calling it M-theory. M theory may be the most fundamental theory of the physical theory of the universe. For example, Hawking believed in his book "The Grand Design" that M theory may be the ultimate theory of the universe.

Not only the first string theory revolution, he also made outstanding contributions to the second string theory later.

Not only his outstanding contributions in physics, Professor Witten's research on pure mathematics has far-reaching influences. For example, he used Jones polynomials to explain the Chen-Simons theory. This research has a profound impact on low-dimensional topological structures, and deduced Quantum invariants.And his outstanding contribution in mathematics also won him the Fields Medal in 1990.Witten also became the first physicist to win the Fields Medal.

But Witten is not reconciled, because he thinks that he is a physicist more than a mathematician. The greatest scientific research achievement in his life is none other than string theory, and nothing is comparable to the Nobel Prize in Physics. A tribute to a physicist.

Witten looked at the paper on the proof of the existence of the solution of the Yang Mills equation, and all his attention was left behind by him. Even the original course asked him to ask someone to take it for him. At this moment, there is nothing better than Reading papers is more important.

Starting from the first line of calculation, the smooth and flowing calculation process seemed to contain a kind of magical power, which firmly caught his attention.

In particular, the understanding of differential geometry of partial differential equations in the thesis, as well as the new mathematical tools and applications created by Qin Yuanqing, are so ingenious that he can hardly believe it.

"It's an unbelievable proof-seeking method and way of thinking. Qin's wisdom is really amazing!" Professor Wei Teng put down the paper in his hand, his eyes were full of wonder: "No wonder "The Chronicle of Mathematics" dared to make such a big contribution and jumped straight to the paper. After passing the review process, the paper will be published directly. This paper on the proof of the existence of the solution of the Yang-Mills equation alone is a top-notch paper."

"I couldn't find any major problems in the thesis. As expected, Qin Zhen proved it!" Wei Teng closed the thesis, his eyes full of surprise.

If it is a mathematician who proves the existence of solutions to the Yang-Mills equation, then, to put it bluntly, it is completely worthy of a Fields Medal.

After all, in the past half century, six Fields Medals have been born relying on the theoretical research of Yang Mills.

Of course, Weiteng is very clear that Qin Yuanqing has already won the Fields Medal, and it is much more difficult to win the second Fields Medal. Just relying on the existence of the solution of the Yang-Mills equation to prove this achievement is not enough for Qin Yuanqing Received a second Fields Medal.But considering Qin Yuanqing's achievements in mathematics in the past four years, the two problems of the minimal model program, the BAB conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, and this proof of the existence of the solution of the Yang-Mills equation, So this year's Fields Medal can no longer escape.

"Damn it, this person is getting old, his thinking has slowed down, and his energy has also declined. If 10 years ago, I could have read these five papers in one go." Wei Teng sighed unwillingly and helplessly, and said Without picking up the second paper, get up and walk around.

Before he knew it, he was also a little old man who was 60 years old.

Opening the curtains of the office, the sun shines on the body, and on the lawn outside the window, two young men and women are cuddling up and reading a book.

Wei Teng couldn't help showing envy in his eyes, it's nice to be young!
If possible, he would use all his wealth to ask God for ten years to make himself ten years younger!

"Witten, how do you read the paper?" Professor Fefferman couldn't help asking when he saw Professor Witten standing there in a daze.

"I've finished reading the first paper. It's logical and rigorous, just like Qin's other papers. Although it's not as developed as his previous papers, but in my personal opinion, it proves the existence of solutions to the Yang-Mills equation!" Wei Wei Professor Teng said humorously: "Fefferman, your current committee can prepare for Qin's second Fields Medal!"

Professor Fefferman is also a well-known mathematics professor at Princeton, and this year he happened to be a member of the Fields Medal Jury Committee of the Congress of Mathematicians.

"Qin's mathematical talent is really amazing. He is amazingly talented in mathematics and has a lot of attainments in physics. Wei Teng, you are the best at mathematics among physicists. Qin is now the best at physics among mathematicians. " Fefferman said with emotion: "If there is no problem this time, he will also win the Nobel Prize in Physics this year, which you have not done yet."

I'm so heartbroken!

Professor Weiteng was critically attacked by Professor Fefferman's words, and the damage was as high as 9999. Fortunately, Weiteng is not from Huaxia, otherwise he would definitely understand what it means to be a scumbag.

Witten's biggest regret is that he failed to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for his string theory. This is known to many people, and now Fefferman feels heartbroken when he says this.Didn't I have been working tirelessly all these years just to make another impact, but in the end I didn't succeed, Qin Yuanqing had the chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics first.

"I just read the first paper. In my personal opinion, it's the same. Qin should have proved the existence of solutions to the Yang-Mills equation. This should be no problem." Fefferman said.

Compared with Shuimu University and Chinese Academy of Sciences, Princeton is undoubtedly stronger, and there are still some who can understand the first paper.

This continues to happen in every corner of Princeton University.

Qin Yuanqing didn't know what happened at Princeton University at this time. Today happened to be the weekend. Qin Yuanqing thought that he was busy with research some time ago and didn't take good care of his family, so he took his wife and children to play on the lawn.

As for the papers, it is impossible to study the five papers in the hands of scientific research institutions and scholars from publication to scientific research institutions and scholars. This time, he did not post the rubbing version on the paper website. Journal of the Chronicle of Mathematics.

"Daddy~~Daddy~~ball" cried the baby girl.

Seeing the baby girl and the brat playing with the ball, the ball rolled to this side, Qin Yuanqing smiled and rolled the ball back to the brat.

The world of children is so simple, a ball can have a lot of fun.

At this moment, Qin Yuanqing just thinks that there is no need for children to study various interest classes after childhood, but as long as they grow up happily, if they are interested in reading, their academic performance will not be bad, and if they are not interested in reading, it is fine. You can learn whatever you want, as long as you are happy and grow up healthily, as long as your three views are normal and you don’t harm others.

When I was young, I was too demanding and too strict, which inhibited the child's nature, and the child didn't play enough. As a result, when he grew up, he often went to two extremes, either continuing to do scientific research seriously, or playing crazy.

In Shuimu University, those who can enter Shuimu can be said to be the pride of heaven, but every year there are always one or two who go to extremes and are persuaded to leave by the school.

"Now WeChat and Weibo are crazy, why don't you explain?" The young lady asked curiously. She must use WeChat and Weibo every day, uploading daily photos of life, or children, or food. , or the scenery, share some of your own views.

So even though the movie has been off for more than a year, Jingtian's Weibo user attention has grown rapidly, and has exceeded 3000 million, and he is still the queen of Weibo.

"No need to explain, just hold an academic report meeting after a while, and it will be fine! To be able to understand the first paper, it is rare for doctors to have this ability." Qin Yuan smiled lightly.

A lot of people are actually just joining in the fun, they can’t even understand it, and then they comment on each other, questioning this and that.

Real scholars will not easily express their opinions until they do not understand or understand, let alone scientific research institutions, which need to go through strict and careful demonstrations before expressing their opinions.
