Chapter 611: Which paper did you write?

Peer review is a difficult task.
First of all, this job is unpaid, or the reviewers are usually paid in a way that has nothing to do with money, such as journal acknowledgements, positions in the editorial department, free access to journals, discounts on publishing fees, and so on.
Secondly, with limited knowledge of a job, it is not easy to try to go deep into this field to judge whether a research result is correct.
If it is not an important proposition, it ’s fine, but a world-class problem like the existence of a solution to the Young Mills equation cannot be neglected in terms of difficulty or importance, and even each line of the paper has to be spent Reviewers have a lot of precious time to scrutinize repeatedly.
The reason why many people take up this job is not only to be able to mix the "academic qualifications" of a reviewer in a well-known journal, but also because of their sense of social responsibility as a scholar and a sense of mission as a research goalkeeper. .
For a scholar who has already achieved success, Professor Fefferman's motivation for accepting the invitation to review is probably the latter. But when he got the paper, all these insignificant things were left aside by him.
Starting from the first line of calculations, the calculation process of the flowing water seemed to contain a magical magic, and firmly grasped his eyes.
In particular, the understanding of the differential geometry of the partial differential equations in the thesis and the application of the L-manifold are so clever that he can hardly believe it.
He couldn't believe that a young theory that was only two years old from its birth to today can develop to such a mature level in just two years.
"... It's incredible."
It took about fifteen minutes to turn the first page of the text, and Professor Fefferman couldn't help feeling.
If it was said that he had been immersed in the holidays, he still feels a bit sorry.
But at this moment, there was no regret in his mind.
The time in the office passed quietly, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.
Sitting at another desk, Wei Wen, who finally completed the final solution, took a breath and stretched out in a comfortable mood.
When he was about to stand up and go to the dining room downstairs for a dinner, he noticed that Professor Fefferman, who was sitting at his desk not far away, still maintained the movement in the afternoon and stared intently. With the paper in hand, the pen in his hand writes something on the draft paper from time to time.
After hesitating, Wei Cun couldn't hold his curiosity, Wei Wen asked.
"Professor Lu ... has it been proven?"
Hearing the inquiry, the pen in Professor Fefferman's hand finally stopped.
Putting the dissertation on the table, he picked up the cold coffee and took a sip. After a while, he thoughtfully said.
"On my own opinion, I can't make hasty decisions on such important things ..."
Looking at the dissertation on the table again, Professor Fefferman paused and continued.
"But if I only talk about my personal point of view, he probably did."
...
After completing the dissertation on "The Proof of the Existence of Solutions to the Young Mills Equation", Lu Zhou organized the contents written on the draft paper into a computer, edited it briefly, and posted it to the Editorial Department of the "Mathematics Annual" Mailbox.
With almost no suspense, the paper quickly passed the review of the technical editor and entered the peer review process.
As for the reviewer, Lu Zhou did not know before the paper was published.
However, this kind of thing is not important at all.
He has checked the proof steps from start to finish before putting it on the computer. He has more than 90% certainty that his certification is correct. Regardless of what the reviewer thinks, this issue can be considered as a solution to him.
After confirming that the paper entered the peer review process, Lu Zhou did not manage it anymore, and began the next stage of research.
In fact, proving the existence of the solution is just the first step to the Holy Grail of modern physics, far from the core part of the problem. At least, before studying the problem of mass gap, he had to find a general solution for this complex equation.
From a mathematical point of view, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to find a general solution than to prove that a general solution exists. At least it's not the original version of the 啃 NS equation.
In short, Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to start the next round of retreat immediately before finding a solution to the problem. These days, he has been searching other people's research in the field on Arxiv to see if he can get some inspiration from other people's research work.
Unfortunately, the results were not ideal.
Although the position of the Young Mills equation in modern gauge field theory is sufficiently important, few people have taken the study of the general solution of this nonlinear partial differential equation as their research direction. Although there are some interesting results, these results often do not go deep into the core areas.
This also means that he can only rely on himself for this part of the work ...
On the last Wednesday of April, after finishing a course in computational materials, Lu Zhou with his textbooks in his arms walked out of the classroom.
However, while he was thinking about the Young Mills equation and walking towards the staircase, a middle-aged professor shouted his name and trot up from behind.
"Please wait, Professor Lu."
Standing in the corridor outside the staircase classroom, Lu Zhou turned to look at the man who was holding on to him, and cast a doubtful look on him.
"you are?"
Taking a breath, the middle-aged professor smiled and said, "I'm Zhang Zhongqing, from the institute ... We saw it in the last physics class."
"Oh," I still remember the name. Lu Zhou immediately remembered who he was, so he said to Yan Yue, "It's Professor Zhang, is there anything wrong?"
Seeing that Lu Zhou still remembers himself, Zhang Zhongqing smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's it. Didn't you give our students a lecture on strong interaction last time? Many students responded, It ’s a pity to say that I did n’t hear your class. It happens that quantum mechanics is a difficult point in undergraduate education. To learn well, you need a certain level of mathematical skills. The leaders of our college let me know the situation Let me ask you if you have time recently? If so, we would like to invite you to give a lecture on quantum mechanics. "
"It's all right, no problem," Lu Zhou said with a smile. "Saturday this week?"
Seeing Lu Zhou agree, Zhang Zhongqing smiled quickly and said, "No problem! The dean said, time still depends on what time is available to you, any time on our side. That ’s all for the matter. First, I would like to thank Professor Lu for the students of the Institute. "
Lu Zhou: "Don't be so polite, I still like to teach the students."
Although teaching undergraduates does not help him solve any problems directly, while thinking about the basic problems, it can also give him inspiration that can not be generated during the retreat.
Zhang Zhongqing said with a smile: "You're welcome to be polite. After all, your research work is so busy that you have to take the time to teach undergraduates. We are so sorry for your trouble."
"Lu Zhou!"
It's only half of what I said ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A loud voice came from across the corridor across the long distance.
Hearing the voice, the two stopped talking in unison, looking in the direction from which the voice came, and saw Academician Lu, wearing a gray coat, walking towards this side as if enforcing.
Looking at the Academician Lu who was walking towards him in surprise, Lu Zhou was about to say hello, but before he could say anything, he heard the old man who was approaching him excitedly.
"Which paper did you write?"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou stunned subconsciously.
"... which paper?"
Without breathing even breath, Academician Lu exclaimed, "The existence of the solution to the Young Mills equation!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Zhongqing was hardly caught by his own foam.
Young Mills equation? !!
Hold the grass!
