He solved it?
A general solution to the Yang-Mills equations?
What about the process?
Wait, what about the Q&A session?
How did he slip away?!
Even if you're a Fields Award winner, you can't be so willful!
The audience in the auditorium looked at each other in dismay, and the commotion spread out from the center like a tide.
Some people shook their heads and stood up, some people were at a loss, some people took pictures of the calculations on the blackboard, and some people exchanged surprised looks with their peers, not knowing what to say.
Klitzing stared at the equation on the blackboard. He held the pen and scribbled on the paper. He then looked at Faltings and said, "Is this the general solution?"
Faltings stared at the blackboard expressionlessly. After a while, he forced himself to speak.
"I'm good at algebraic geometry. You'll have to ask Fefferman about PDE."
Klitzing: "…?"
There's actually something you're not good at?
Although Faltings kicked the ball to Fefferman, Fefferman was also dumbfounded.
Deligné stared at the general solution on the blackboard with his eyebrows furrowed. He tried to verify the solution, but he quickly gave up on the idea like Faltings. He looked at Professor Fefferman, the PDE expert sitting next to him. He put down his pen and spoke.
"Is he right?"
"I don't know … Even if I wanted to verify it, it's not something I can do." Fefferman paused for a while and said, "This is the field of computers, not mathematicians."
Partial differential equations were different from normal equations. They required the most calculations in all disciplines.
This was especially true for nonlinear partial differential equations. There were only a few that could be proven to have a solution, let alone a few. It could be said that this was not only the most difficult problem in computational mathematics, but it was also one of the core difficulties in building phenomenological models in other disciplines.
If Lu Zhou had written down the process, he could follow his train of thought and look for the loopholes in his process.
However, such a general solution was right there …
He really didn't know what to do with this problem.
Edward Witten closed the notebook in his hand and nodded with a serious expression.
"The calculation involved in the verification is too large … If he can't provide a calculation process, I'm afraid we'll have to use a supercomputer to verify this epoch-making discovery."
When he spoke, his tone was full of excitement.
Not only did he see the possibility of solving the Yang-Mills equations, but he also saw the possibility of connecting the strong interaction with the electromagnetic force.
If he was right, history would remember this day.
Wiles, who was sitting at the side, also had a look of interest on his face.
Even though he didn't care much about what the physics community thought, he was still quite interested in this mathematical proposition. Therefore, after hearing Witten's words, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"I agree. Any great discovery can happen inadvertently. If we miss it, it will be a huge loss for both Professor Lu and us … Just like Fermat's last theorem. Speaking of which, doesn't Princeton have a supercomputer? We'll use yours. "
Professor Deligné nodded.
"I'll go contact them."
Academician Wang Shicheng, who was sitting on the side of the conference hall, took out his phone and took a picture of the blackboard. He then sent it to the Yan University mathematics department's internal discussion group. The scholars in the group were basically the top scholars in the mathematics department of Yan University. They were also academic leaders in the mathematics community.
After sending the picture, Academician Wang Shicheng called the dean of the mathematics department.
"I sent the picture to the group, help me verify it on the supercomputer."
"Yeah, it's the Yang-Mills equations."
The gloating man looked at Academician Wang Shicheng, who was sitting next to him. He gulped and spoke in a low voice.
"He really solved it?"
Wang Shicheng casually said, "I don't know, but it's very likely."
The audience in the auditorium was muddled. The teachers who were responsible for the conference, as well as the school leaders, were all confused by Lu Zhou's unconventional behavior. Dean Qin watched as Lu Zhou walked out of the auditorium. He was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Principal Xu.
"Where are you going?"
"What else, I'm going to ask him to come back. There's a Q&A session later," Dean Qin said anxiously. He then said, "He stopped the report halfway, what's going on?"
Principal Xu went silent for a second and said, "We'll talk about him later. Go save him first."
Dean Qin was stunned. He smiled awkwardly.
"Um … How do I save him?"
Principal Xu said, "Just say something, thank the guests, announce the end of the report, and tell them to eat at the InterContinental Hotel … Do you need me to teach you how to do this?"
"Okay, okay! I'll try, "Dean Qin said.
On the other side of the auditorium.
Han Mengqi, who was standing in the audience, was completely dumbfounded. She watched as Lu Zhou walked out of the auditorium.
General solution?
What general solution?
Is the report not going to start?
In contrast, Lin Yuxiang, who was sitting next to her, was much more relaxed. Her eyes were sparkling.
"Wow, the professor is so handsome …"
Han Mengqi: "???"
Even though she didn't deny this, what was the connection between the two?
The auditorium was in chaos because of Lu Zhou's equations.
Lu Zhou walked out of the old campus. He was already in Wang Peng's car, heading toward Zhongshan International.
Lu Zhou opened the door and went straight to his study room. He sat at his desk and turned on his computer. His fingers began typing on the keyboard as he began to edit a new document.
"It's not that differential geometry can't be applied to partial differential equations, it's just that the method needs some adjustments … Damn it, why didn't I think of this half a month ago?"
Lu Zhou muttered to himself as he became more and more excited.
Inspiration was always born out of the blue.
All the clues were linked together, and all the thinking he had put into the past two months also became meaningful at this moment.
"I just have to let U (3) be a closed dense delineation in Banach space X …
"It's that general solution!"
Lu Zhou stared at the line of equations on the screen. His finger trembled as he pressed the enter key.
If mathematics was the language of God, then at this moment, he was standing on God's shoulder.
He had never been so close to the truth of the universe. It was as if he was only inches away from it …
For a scholar, was there anything more exciting or important than this?
There probably wouldn't be any more.
