Professor Brian Caro's thesis caused a huge sensation in the academic community.
Even though people had been speculating that the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap would eventually be solved by Professor Lu, they didn't expect it to be a surprise.
The last problem of the Yang-Mills equations was solved by a professor from the University of Oxford.
Of course, no one was surprised by Professor Brian Caro's proof. After all, this big name in theoretical physics had been researching gauge field theory for more than 20 years, so it was understandable that he could make such a major breakthrough.
Especially when Professor Lu solved the general solution of the Yang-Mills equations, it inspired the entire mathematics and physics community.
All of a sudden, Professor Brian Caro and the University of Oxford became famous in the theoretical physics community. The arXiv papers on the Yang-Mills equations and the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap also disappeared.
Everyone was waiting for a result.
They were waiting for the attitude of the physics community toward this thesis.
They were waiting for the opinions of authoritative scholars …
University of Oxford.
Professor Brian Caro was sitting on the sofa in a study room with red wooden bookshelves. He was being interviewed by Nature Weekly. He looked energetic and energetic.
When he was asked about the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap, which had troubled the theoretical physics community for decades, he gently leaned against the soft cushion behind him and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"The Yang-Mills existence and mass gap is a very complicated problem. Even though we can observe it in physics experiments and computer simulations, we can't give a mathematically reasonable explanation. We can't understand the reason for its existence qualitatively or quantitatively. This problem has troubled the physics community for more than half a century. It's like a marathon, and it's only today that we finally have an answer. "
Belinda, a reporter from Nature Weekly, held a recording pen in her hand and asked in a serious manner, "How did you solve it?"
Brian Caro replied humorously, "How would you like me to answer this question?"
Belinda smiled and said, "For the sake of the general reader, I hope you can use non-academic language to briefly talk about the source of your inspiration and how you solved the problem."
"I'll try my best." Professor Brian took a sip of black tea and elegantly put down the teacup. He then said, "I've been researching this problem for nearly 20 years. The report held at the Jin Ling University auditorium gave me a lot of inspiration. By introducing the L Manifold method, Professor Lu demonstrated how to apply differential geometry methods to solving nonlinear partial differential equations. I think this has great significance for mathematics and physics. "
Belinda asked, "So you used the same method, or a similar method?"
Brian shook his head and said, "Of course not, but Professor Lu's idea did give me some inspiration. We all know that the mass gap of the four-dimensional field theory can not be seen in the classical case. In order to prove it, we must introduce the non-classical variable transformation. Therefore, my approach is to introduce a scalar field on a space-time manifold to the whole problem, and then solve the problem with a simple method. "
Speaking of this, Brian subconsciously tilted his chin.
Whenever he thought back to how smart he was, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Belinda smiled and said, "Will you present the content of the thesis in the form of a report?"
Professor Brian smiled and said, "Of course, this is a common practice in academia. Any great discovery must answer some people's questions, even Einstein was no exception. My proof will be held at the Oxford University lecture hall. I will explain the method I used in detail and answer all of the questions from my peers. "
Belinda asked, "What do you think about the opinions of other physicists?"
Professor Brian: "If they have any questions, I welcome them to point them out. Although I think the possibility of that is very small."
Belinda: "But according to the comments on arXiv, Professor Lu seems to have reservations about your thesis. He thinks that there are at least three areas in your thesis that are not clearly explained. These areas are likely to have flaws that cannot be corrected. "
Professor Brian frowned, but his eyebrows quickly relaxed as he spoke in a gentle tone.
He spoke in a gentle tone, "Professor Lu is a respectable scholar, but he doesn't have absolute authority in academia. Everyone makes mistakes, including me, and of course, him. "
Belinda was intrigued, and she said, "So what you're saying is, Professor Lu might be wrong this time?"
"I didn't say that, but you have to admit that this is a possibility. I'm quite confident in my thesis. After all, I've been researching this problem for more than 20 years, and he's only been researching this problem for less than a year. It's normal for him to be negligent. "
Professor Brian paused for a second, cleared his throat, and spoke.
"Of course, in order to clear up these misunderstandings, I will send him an invitation to Oxford University to witness this great and glorious moment. If he is willing to come, I will answer all of his questions at the report. "
…
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
There was a knock on the dean's office door.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting at his desk, stopped writing and looked at the door.
"Come in."
The door opened.
Luo Wenxuan walked in with a Nature Weekly magazine in his hand.
"I heard that Professor Brian invited you to his report." Luo Wenxuan placed the magazine on his desk and looked at Lu Zhou. He asked, "Did you receive his invitation?"
"Yeah, I received it yesterday," said Lu Zhou as he nodded.
Luo Wenxuan: "Do you plan on going?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and shook his head. "I can't go abroad for the next five years, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it."
Luo Wenxuan: "… That's a shame."
He understood Lu Zhou's current situation.
Before the controllable fusion negotiations were over, Lu Zhou was a top scholar in the field. Whether it was for technical confidentiality or personal safety reasons, he obviously couldn't be as casual as before when it came to immigration.
It could only be said that there were always losses.
Lu Zhou didn't care, and he casually said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. After all, it's not an important conference."
He had been following up on Professor Brian's thesis. Even though Professor Brian made several revisions to the preprint, Lu Zhou wasn't satisfied with the results. Honestly speaking, even if Lu Zhou had the opportunity to go, he probably wouldn't make the time to go.
After all, if Lu Zhou just wanted to tell Lu Zhou what he did wrong, an email would be enough.
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Then I'll go for you. Remember to reimburse me for my flight."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You're still short on money?"
Luo Wenxuan waved his hand and said, "It's not about money. I'm planning on getting married, so I have to save as much as I can."
"You're going to hang yourself … Just wait until the sun rises from the west." Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He took out a receipt from his drawer and signed it. He then said, "Don't reimburse me, just go to the finance department and get five thousand pounds of travel expenses."
Luo Wenxuan took the receipt and smiled. "That generous? Then I'll have to stay in England for two more days. "
"Go, go, have fun."
