The report on the general solution of the Yang-Mills equations came to an end.
Over the next three days, several other supercomputing centers, including the Yan University Supercomputing Center and the John Norman Supercomputing Center in Princeton, were interested in this proposition. Their verification results were released one after another.
There was no suspense in the results.
The solution of an equation might be different depending on the input parameters, but the general solution wouldn't be different depending on the computer running it, even if it was a nonlinear partial differential equation.
After the data from several other supercomputing centers was released, the public was amazed at Professor Lu's computing power. The rumors that the University of Jin Ling's supercomputing center's data were falsified and that the general solution was written randomly were also dispelled.
Even though academic fraud was rampant these days, even Yan University's test data couldn't be said to be completely trustworthy, research institutions like the John Norman Supercomputing Center still had a certain amount of authority in the eyes of the public.
Because of Lu Zhou's thesis on arXiv, the arXiv website's research on the Yang-Mills equations, the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap, and the strong interaction became a hot topic again. Heated discussions could also be seen on major academic exchange forums.
After all, understanding the mystery behind this equation was the lifelong dream of many scholars. After the general solution of this equation was found, everyone saw the light of hope.
Not to mention, in addition to satisfying their own thirst for knowledge, there was also the temptation of the Nobel Prize and the million-dollar Millennium Prize Problems.
If anyone could build the last brick of this building, not only would they receive at least one-third of the prize money, but they would also stand on the Nobel Prize stage with a world-renowned scholar.
Other than maverick scholars, no one would complain about having too much glory …
…
Lu Zhou didn't pay much attention to the verification results of the supercomputing center. He wasn't interested in it either.
After all, he knew that he was right, and that was enough for him.
For the next three days after the report, Lu Zhou basically stayed in the mathematics department of Jin Ling University. He discussed the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap with his old friend, Professor Fefferman.
Even though Fefferman mainly researched mathematics, his research direction was in the area of partial differential equations after all. Therefore, his research was still quite closely related to physics. Whether it was in fluid mechanics or theoretical physics, he had his own unique insights.
These things were exactly what Lu Zhou needed the most.
Not to mention, the two of them were old partners when they were researching the Navier – Stokes equation, so there was no problem communicating with each other.
Jin Ling University mathematics department building.
In Lu Zhou's office.
The three blackboards that were placed against the wall were so full that there was no space left.
After discussing for the whole morning, Lu Zhou felt a little thirsty. He asked Assistant Lin to make two cups of coffee. He then sat on the sofa and chatted with Professor Fefferman.
"How's Princeton?"
Fefferman smiled and said, "It's always been good. Other than the students missing you, there are also a few young female researchers who have expressed their admiration for you … It's not appropriate for me to talk about these things at my age. How about I give you their email addresses?"
Lu Zhou, who was drinking his coffee, nearly spat it out.
"Ahem! That's not necessary … Oh yeah, what about my students? How are they doing? "
"Qin Yue is currently working as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study. I think he's doing number theory research. Your student named Hadi went back to Brazil. Apparently, he's teaching at the University of Sao Paulo. I don't know what's going on with him … Oh yeah, and your Miss Vera Pulyuy. Her number theory classes are excellent, and she's already an associate professor at Princeton. Apparently, she's taking on a very challenging research project, but she doesn't seem to want to tell others what she's doing. Maybe you can ask her? You can also satisfy our curiosity. "
Lu Zhou looked away subtly and coughed lightly before speaking.
"Since she doesn't want to reveal it, I think we should respect her decision."
He was confident that if he asked, she would tell him.
But …
He didn't know what to say.
"You're right." Fefferman shrugged and said, "I'm just a little worried that she might be in a dead end. This is a common situation for young and promising scholars. After all, we all agree that she will be the strongest contender for the Fields Prize at the St. Petersburg International Congress of Mathematicians. It would be a shame for her to be delayed by a mathematical problem that she can't solve. "
Lu Zhou went silent for a while before he spoke.
"I believe she knows what she's doing."
"Okay then, if you say so."
Seeing how Lu Zhou didn't seem to want to discuss this issue, Fefferman didn't say anything else.
He picked up his coffee and took a sip. His gaze fell on the three blackboards by the wall of the office.
"To be honest, you should talk to Edward Witten about these things. He's a master in the field of theoretical physics. I only know about theoretical physics because of my work and research needs." Fefferman put down the coffee cup in his hand and leaned back on the sofa. He said in a helpless tone, "And I don't know as much as fluid mechanics."
As if Lu Zhou expected him to say this, he smiled and spoke.
"Discussing this issue with him might not be the best choice, at least at this stage … Of course, I hope you won't tell him this."
"Can you tell me why?" Fefferman looked at Lu Zhou and said in a joking tone, "Maybe I'll write it in my memoir."
"Then I have to answer this question carefully." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a special reason. It's just that as a mathematical physicist, he has been studying the Grand Unified Theory for decades. Whether it's string theory or the interaction between the microscopic particle world, he has a mature set of views.
"This set of theories is quite mature, but there is a lack of experimental evidence. If we discuss this issue with him, it won't be a discussion. At most, we will just try to convince each other … At least for now, before a new theory is born, there is no point in doing this. "
"I believe Witten also understands this." Lu Zhou paused for a second and said with a smile, "Otherwise, I think he would be happy to stay here for a few more days. There is no need for him to leave in such a hurry."
