The problem of the two-dimensional small coupling constant R (φ) wasn't a difficult problem. At most, it required a little bit of abstract thinking … At least, that was what Lu Zhou thought.
However, even though this problem wasn't difficult, anyone who could ask this kind of question wasn't an ordinary person. After all, most people wouldn't even notice that there was anything that needed to be added here, or that there was a dispute here.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and spoke.
"The existence of the isolated eigenvalue m of M, together with the Ightman axiom, provides a theoretical basis for the two standard forms of scattering theory. These two forms are the wave operator method and the scattering matrix element method. The conclusion of these two types of scattering theory is that there are progressive states with arbitrary particle numbers … "
Luo Wenxuan listened to Lu Zhou's explanation and immediately picked up the marker and began to write on the whiteboard.
Lines of calculations were written on the whiteboard.
As the deduction gradually deepened, the originally abstract problem began to be solved bit by bit. Witten, who was originally looking at the stage with a serious expression, gradually smiled. The old man with the aquiline nose who asked the previous question also nodded slowly.
The whispers in the lecture hall gradually quieted down.
Luo Wenxuan took a deep breath and put down the pen in his hand.
"That's the answer to the single-particle spectrum problem … Do you have any other questions?"
The old man with the aquiline nose looked at the young man on stage and smiled.
"No."
The sound of hands clapping was heard in the lecture hall. Soon, the applause turned into a torrential downpour. It was filled with encouragement and praise, and it almost blew the roof off the venue.
Luo Wenxuan placed the marker on the multimedia desk and sighed in relief. He had a relaxed smile on his face, and his nervous brain began to work again.
He looked at the applause in the lecture hall and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Professor Lu is nutty.
I'm saved.
However …
It seems like I'm the only one who's bragging.
After that, the scholars sitting in the lecture hall asked a lot of questions, and Luo Wenxuan answered them one by one. Even if there were some inadequacies, Lu Zhou would supplement or answer for him.
The report came to an end amidst the applause.
After the report ended, Luo Wenxuan walked down from the stage. The old man with the aquiline nose, who had asked him a question, walked toward him with a cane.
"It was a wonderful report."
He didn't hesitate to compliment the old man. The old man looked at him and grinned, the wrinkles on his face moving. But what was surprising was that even so, this smile could still be considered benevolent.
However, when he heard this compliment, Luo Wenxuan did not feel much joy. Instead, he touched the back of his head awkwardly. After all, the person who answered the old man's question wasn't him, but Lu Zhou on the other end of the line.
"Uh, it's alright."
"Not bad? No, in my opinion, it's already very good. " The old man smiled and said, "Also, if you go back and see Professor Lu, please thank him for me. I didn't expect to see three of the four fundamental forces achieve unity before I went to see God. I was worried about the increasingly impetuous industry, but I didn't expect to see new hope in the far east … It seems that my worries were unnecessary. "
Luo Wenxuan said politely, "I will convey your gratitude to him … May I ask who you are?"
The old man took off his hat and gently put it on his head.
"Peter Higgs."
After that, he smiled and nodded at the astonished Luo Wenxuan, then turned around and walked away.
Higgs!
Luo Wenxuan stared at his idol's back for a while.
He felt like this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name. He didn't expect this person to be Higgs!
But when he thought about it, this old man gradually faded from the physics world after 13 years. The photos used by the media were basically all from before that. When he first went to CERN with Edward Witten, it was already 14 years ago …
"I should go up and ask for an autograph …"
Luo Wenxuan looked at the voice disappearing from the door and muttered to himself.
However, when he came back to his senses, the man was already far away …
…
The applause that resounded in the CERN lecture hall almost blew the roof off the lecture hall. It also caused a sensation in the entire physics community. Previously, there was still a lot of controversy in the international physics community about the Yang-Mills equations and the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap. Now that the report was over, all of these controversies had come to an end.
On the third day after the CERN report, the Clay Mathematics Institute immediately issued a statement. Professor Jaffe, the first director of the Clay Institute, announced that he recognized CERN's judgment. He also said that the Scientific Advisory Board was looking for an appropriate time to award the Millennium Prize Problems medal to Professor Lu Zhou.
At the same time, the oral proof from the phone call spread like wildfire in the physics community …
On the third day after the report, it was eight o 'clock in the evening in Switzerland. It was only afternoon in China.
Luo Wenxuan leaned on the sofa of a hotel near CERN and called Lu Zhou, who was far away in China.
"I'll probably be back later."
"What's up?"
"Uh … I plan on going to France to find some inspiration," Luo Wenxuan said. He was a little embarrassed as he coughed and said, "Oh yeah, I don't have enough money. How about you give me some money and I'll pay you back when I come back?"
Lu Zhou noticed that Lu Zhou's voice was a little subtle, and he could hear the sound of someone taking a shower in the background. He immediately understood what was going on and smiled as he shook his head.
"Don't bother. Professor Carlson, the chairman of the Clay Institute's Scientific Advisory Board, has been harassing me with emails. If you pass by the Institut de France on your way to France, help me collect the one million dollars and the certificate. I'll give you half of the prize money as your travel expenses."
Luo Wenxuan nearly fell off the sofa.
"No way! Half is … "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Why not? Not to mention, you helped me a lot when researching the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap. I should give you some of the prize money."
Honestly, Lu Zhou had seen hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding, so he didn't care about a million US dollars anymore. The only thing he was interested in was the certificate issued by the Clay Institute.
After all, no one would complain about having too much honor. The certificate was only issued seven times in this century, so it had some value.
However, even though this was what Lu Zhou thought, Luo Wenxuan didn't agree. Instead, he spoke with a firm attitude.
"The Yang-Mills existence and mass gap is only the last problem of the Yang-Mills equations Millennium Prize Problems, and I didn't even participate in one-tenth of it. This prize money doesn't belong to me, I don't want it! " Luo Wenxuan seemed to be struggling with something. He went silent for a while and said, "I can go to the award ceremony for you, but I don't want the prize money."
Lu Zhou: "…"
