Chapter 613: Letter from the Clay Institute

Lu Zhou had never thought of it at the time of submission. The paper he submitted in the Annual of Mathematics would have caused such a great response.
After all, it was only a phased achievement, and it was far from reaching the core difficulty of the Young Mills equation. At best, he just took the first step that others have not yet taken.
It wasn't until Academician Lu pulled him excitedly that Lien Zhuao asked him a bunch of questions, and he gradually realized that things didn't seem as simple as he thought.
The Young Mills equation has a much higher status in physics than it does in mathematics.
Maybe it is just a difficult partial differential equation for the latter, but for the former, it means the first step to the grand unified theory, the holy grail of modern theoretical physics!
In this case, even if it is only a small improvement, it is difficult to prevent the entire industry from shaking.
After all, since entering the 21st century, in addition to the discovery of some long-predicted particles and the verification of several pieces of the puzzle on the standard model, it has been too long in this field to have "new things".
Of course, it's obviously not just the theoretical physicists who are shocked, but also the people who eat it through various channels.
Even in a sense, the latter's enthusiasm for discussing this matter is stronger than the former.
Especially after the interview with the reviewer Professor Fefferman in Science magazine, the popularity has been pushed to a peak.
To the extent that Lu Zhou was sitting in the cafeteria for a meal, he could hear a few students who were obviously not physics students next to him, happily holding his side, and whispering something there.
It's not over yet.
One day after finishing the mathematics class, he took the textbook and walked out of the classroom. A group of people gathered around the door.
These reporters who did not know where they came from, took out the camera, microphone, and voice recorder hidden in their bodies, and squeezed them in the direction close to Lu Zhou.
"Hello Professor Lu Zhou, I am a reporter from Penguin News Network. It is rumored that you are challenging the millennial puzzle about the Young Mills equation. Is this true?"
Lu Zhou: "Yes, yes, so?"
"Professor Tao Zhexuan of the University of California once mentioned on his personal blog that if there is any problem that cannot be solved, the best way is to get Professor Lu interested ... What do you think of this sentence?"
Lu Zhou: "Please ask him."
At this time, the reporter who was crowded in the back of the crowd and could not get an interview opportunity extended his neck and shouted.
"Yearly in Mathematics, your paper is published. Can we consider that the millennial problem of the Young Mills equation has been solved by you?"
Listening to this layman's question, Lu Zhou explained with a headache, "Proving the existence of the solution is only a phased result, not-"
"... If the Clay Institute awarded you a one million dollar prize, how do you plan to use this huge sum?"
Lu Zhou: "?????"
Do n’t these people listen?
The microphones were plugged in one after another, and Lu Zhou was too busy for a while.
Fortunately, Wang Peng, who responded quickly, blocked him in time.
Lu Zhou watched the arm that wasn't too thick, and just drove him out of the crowd.
After about another ten minutes, the school security department heard the news, and a group of security guards in black coats came together to invite these "social staff" who interfered with teaching work out of the school.
After finally getting rid of the pervasive reporters, they fled to Lu Zhou, the experimental building of the Academy of Sciences, and finally took a breath, and fart. They sat on their office chairs.
Maybe he noticed the tired expression on his face, Lin Yuxiang, preparing for the National War Examination, rolled his eyes, got up and walked to the office's water dispenser.
After a while, when Lu Zhou opened her laptop and was about to start working, she came over with a cup of coffee and smiled.
"Tired? I made some coffee for you."
"Thank you." After receiving the coffee, Lu Zhou said politely.
"You're welcome," Lin Yuxiang said with a pouting smile, "I tried the instant one this time. I don't know if it suits your appetite."
"Well, it's delicious."
"That's great," Lin Yuxiang looked at him with an expectant look, and continued to say, "Well ... if you like it, I will continue to do it every day." How about making it for you? "
According to her experience, when speaking this sentence, as long as she is paired with a pair of innocent and innocent eyesight, even a woman, she has a way to let her deer bump for a while, let alone a relationship that has not tasted What a taste of a single dog.
But just when she thought so ...
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhou said, "It's not necessary every day, and I'm not here every day."
Lin Yuxiang: "... ????"
I do n’t know if I said something that I should n’t say, or because I stepped on a mine. Looking at Assistant Lin who stiffly returned to his seat, Lu Zhou always felt that her back seemed full ... Weird frustration?
Nevermind.
After blowing the hot air from the coffee cup, Lu Zhou took a sip and set the cup aside, then opened Arxiv as usual, and began to check the latest developments in several research directions that he was following.
I have to say that theoretical physicists are really a lonely group.
He still remembers that the first few months after the 750GeV clue came out, Arxiv was almost swiped by the "mysterious particle" beyond the standard model.
The situation is the same now.
The various papers containing "L-manifolds" and "Young Mills equations" in the tags have surged in number just like bamboo shoots.
What made him big, however, was that he had read several papers and hadn't seen anything nutritious.
In short, no matter how the thesis is written, whether the theory is perfect, in short, pre-printed to hang on the Internet ... probably this feeling.
Just then, a bunch of bubbles popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.
[Master, there is new mail! (??????) ??】
mail?
Seeing Xiao Ai's message, Lu Zhou's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he clicked the link in the bubble while holding the mouse.
The email was sent by the Clay Institute of Mathematics, and the sender was Professor Carlson, the chairman of the Clay Institute's Scientific Advisory Board. When he was in France, Lu Zhou had a relationship with him, and now he is still a bit impressed.
In the email, Professor Carlson first expressed surprise and courteous gratitude for his work, and made a request. I hope he can show his proof of proof to the international academic community in the form of a report.
The Clay Institute would be happy to help him if he hadn't experienced the preparation.
Looking at this email, Lu Zhou thought for a while, edited one and sent it back.
[I will seriously consider your suggestion. 】
In fact, he did not intend to hold this report meeting. After all, in his opinion, this staged result was not necessary to be explained at a separate report meeting. However, after seeing a bunch of papers written on his L-manifold on Arxiv, he felt it necessary to stand up and clarify this part of the theory to the academic community in more detail.
If he can attract a group of people to this field, it will be very helpful for his own research.
At least, it didn't stop him from finding a paper worthy of reference.
While Lu Zhou was thinking about how the report would open, there was a knock at the door of the office, and only the principal Xu pushed in and came in.
"That, Professor Lu."
Looking at Mr. Xu Lao's eager expression, Lu Zhou froze slightly.
"……What's matter?"
Principal Xu smiled and said, "It's really a bit ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but it's not a big deal, it's ... You see that you have made such a big research result silently, according to the conventions of your mathematical community Is it normal practice to have a report? "
"There is this tradition ..."
When Lu Zhou said yes, President Xu said immediately, "How about the big auditorium in the old campus?"
As soon as he heard this sentence, Lu Zhou instantly understood his intention, so he smiled and acted as kindly.
"That would bother you."
Principal Xu quickly waved his hand and said with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble! By the way, in time, how do you plan better?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while, and said.
"Then May."
