Chapter 193: On the correct posture of the boss pit apprentice

Princeton University, a cafe on the corner of the campus.
The bright-headed old man sat in the corner, drinking coffee and looking at the paper in his hand.
Sitting opposite him was Edward Witten, who was also enjoying afternoon tea.
Looking at the paper in the hands of his old friend, the old man asked with a smile.
"What are you looking at?"
"An interesting paper was submitted," Professor Deligne said, turning casually, "about Polignac's conjecture."
After a pause, he couldn't help but add the words of praise, "It's an interesting way to prove."
Edward Witten: "Landboat?"
"Yes," making a few marks on the paper with a ballpoint pen, Deligne continued in a chatty tone, "missing that academic report is definitely your biggest loss this year."
Witten smiled and said, "Haha, I agree with you, especially after seeing myself, my regret is stronger."
Deligne unexpectedly looked up at him: "Oh? When did you go across the Pacific Ocean?"
Witten: "It's across the Atlantic, did you forget that I just came back from there?"
Deligne raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you meet that kid in ern?"
Witten smiled and said, "Have you not watched the news recently?"
Deligne shook his head without thinking: "Is there anything new that I haven't paid attention to?"
Witten: "The international cooperation team of lhb announced the discovery of five grams of particles in the gram state, and found characteristic peaks of suspected supersymmetric particle signals at 750 gev."
"Oh, congratulations, you are one step closer to the Nobel Prize," Deligne said casually.
In simple terms, supersymmetry discusses a symmetry between fermions and bosons, which can be viewed to a certain extent as a low-energy deduction of superstring theory.
If superstring theory holds, then supersymmetric particles must exist.
So the converse is that if supersymmetric particles are found, they can provide strong experimental evidence for superstring theory. It is not proof! .
But if it is not found, the theory of superstrings, which has been developed for nearly 30 years, will be deadlocked.
However, Deligne is not particularly concerned about the physics community, and although many of his and his late teachers' research results have shined in the physics community, his field of focus is still purely mathematical.
Especially number theory, and algebraic geometry.
"Congratulations, it's too early," Witten smiled, and said in a joking tone. "I think my Nobel Prize would have to rank behind Stephen Hawking. There is probably no chance in this life."
To get the gunpowder award, it must be a theory proven by experiments. Finding the string that makes up the universe is much more difficult than proving a black hole to prove the theory of black hole evaporation.
The latter is theoretically achievable. It only needs enough collision energy to create a black hole on a small scale, and improved observation equipment to observe this black hole evaporating at the speed of light.
But the former is not something that the Hadron Collider can rise by a few energy levels, but it requires the smallest observation scale of human civilization to go down two levels to observe the one-dimensional things.
With existing technical means, delusion fully proves the theory of superstrings, just like the ancients wanted to go to the moon by inserting firecrackers under a stool.
Hearing his old friend's self-deprecation, Deligne smiled slightly and said casually, "He was listening to the briefing at the time?"
Witten smiled and said, "I didn't listen to the report, I went to the stage to make a report. Can you believe that the clue of 750gev was actually proposed by an intern at the report. He applied the method of probability and calculated it. The probability of a characteristic peak appearing in the 750gev energy region, and then you guess what happened? The researchers from ern did a month of experiments and found this characteristic peak on the two detectors of the hadron collider. "
Deligne, who had been staring at the dissertation, took a moment to stagger, and after a while, he said in a slightly unexpected tone, "I didn't expect him to have this talent physically."
"Yeah," Mr. Witten nodded approvingly. "I heard that he will come to Princeton next year. I plan to take him as a student."
Deligne grinned: "It depends on his own choice. I personally think that his talent in number theory is still better."
Edward Whitten smiled and didn't speak.
No one wants to bring stupid people.
The problem is the same in reverse.
Just then, Professor Deligne, turning the thesis to the last page, suddenly frowned fiercely.
Witten asked with an interest: "What's wrong?"
Deligne shook his head, his expression returned to nature.
"It's nothing."
He also praised the clever use of the group theory method in the thesis and studied the "group construction method" mentioned in the thesis. As a result, he saw the last line, but the boy left a naughty sentence and could not write.
If it wasn't for a really well-written copy of this thesis, he would definitely call back and have the kid rewrite.
A major conjecture, it takes some time to prove it, and it takes a considerable amount of time to verify its correctness.
Lu Zhou doesn't know how long this time is. The only hope is that the reviewer's action will be faster, and it is best to complete it before the end of this year.
The proof of Polignac's conjecture came to an end. For the next time, Lu Zhou devoted all his energy to the subject of Mr. Frank.
Mr. Frank always communicated with him from time to time to supplement the theory of supersymmetry. Although Lu Zhou had doubts about this theory, in the spirit of seeking common ground while shelving differences, he put the controversy temporarily.
There is no way to let him pick faults from a mathematical point of view, but it is not enough for him to build a theory by himself.
The main part of this set of supersymmetric supplementary theory was mainly completed by Mr. Frank, and he was responsible for processing the data, and at the same time, repairing the mathematical loopholes of the theory from a mathematical perspective, making it look more mathematically beautiful.
Don't underestimate the job, this is very important.
The reason string theory can be accepted is precisely because of its mathematical beauty, it is impeccable.
The time soon came to 0. Academician Lu called Lu Zhou to the office.
"Let's go to Beijing on the 20th. I have already booked your ticket for you. Please pay attention to the time."
"Good professor, can you tell us what we are going to do?" Lu Zhou finally couldn't hold his curiosity and asked.
Academician Lu smiled, and unexpectedly did not sell Guanzi, and said, "In fact, nothing, it is the 12th National Congress of the Chinese Mathematical Society, which coincides with the 80th anniversary of the founding. Several old guys proposed to do something unique. Fortunately, the academic meeting was commemorated. Fortunately, the two meetings were held together. It happened that the old man Qiu came here to participate, and I will take you over to have a fun. "
Lying down?
This is nothing?
This is a big deal!
But Lu Zhou's strange thing is, isn't this convention usually held every month? How come to the end of 0? And how do you have a relationship with the academic conference of mathematics when you are in physics?
But these are not the key points. The key point is that Lu Zhou remembers that invitations are needed to participate in such meetings.
In the end, Lu Zhou asked the doubt, "Can I get in without an invitation?"
"The invitation letter is here ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You don't need to worry about it, just follow me. It's a good thing for you." Academician Lu waved and smiled, and continued, "Yes, I remember that the subject you applied for when you reported to Wanqing was Polignac's conjecture. Do you have any new research results recently? If so, I suggest you can apply for a report on the stage, which is a good opportunity. "
Reporting at such a top domestic academic conference is very helpful for a scholar's academic reputation in the country. Although Academician Lu is engaged in theoretical physics, he always deals with people in the mathematical field. , So no stranger to the stuff in mathematics.
But at this moment, he didn't know yet. The proof paper of Polignac's conjecture had been submitted to the "Annual Mathematics" by this boy, and now he has even entered the peer review process.
Papers that have already been submitted to journals, without more innovative research results based on this, cannot be submitted to academic conferences intact, because this is considered a multiple submission.
Lu Zhou thought about it carefully. Except for Polignac's conjecture, he didn't seem to have any interesting research results recently.
However, the "group formation method" he created while studying Polignac's conjecture, it seems that it can be shown as a research result if it is pulled out separately.
Simply put the theory of this "group construction method" into a dissertation, and submit the manuscript at this academic conference!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou had an idea in his heart, watching Academician Lu smiled and said seriously: "I will prepare well."
Academician Lu nodded with a smile: "Okay, you can go back and get ready. By the way, the deadline for submissions seems to be next Friday. You try to hurry up, I will not delay your time."
Lu Zhou: "?????"
Hold the grass!
Then you tell me now? !!
