Chapter 193: The Right Posture

Translator: Translated Henyee Editor:Translated Henyee


In a cafe near Princeton University ...


A bald old man was sitting in the corner drinking his coffee. At the same time, he was reading the thesis in his hand.


Sitting opposite him was Edward Witten.


When Edward Witten made the thesis in the hands of his old friend, he asked, "What are you reading?"


"An interesting thesis submission" Professor Deligne said as he turned the page. He continued, "It's about Polignac's conjecture."


He couldn't help but add, "Evidence is interesting."


Edward Witten asked, "Lu Zhou?"


"Yes," replied Professor Deligne as he held a pen and wrote some question marks on the paper. Casually, he said, "Losing that conference is your biggest mistake of the year."


Edward Witten smiled and said, “Haha, I agree. Especially since I met him face to face, my regrets have grown stronger. ”


Deligne looked at him and said, "Oh?When do you fly across the Pacific Ocean? "


Edward Witten, “Other side of the Atlantic. Did you forget that I just got back from there? "


Professor Deligne raised his eyebrows and asked, "You met the boy at CERN?"


With a smile, Edward Witten said, "Have you not seen the recent news?"


Professor Deligne shook his head and said, "I don't, why? Is there anything new?"


Edward Witten, “International Cooperation Group LHCb publishes news on pentaquark. They also found a characteristic peak in the 750 GeV energy zone. They think it could be a supersymmetric particle. ”


“Oh, congratulations. You are one step closer to the Nobel Prize, ” Professor Deligne said casually.


In short, supersymmetry addresses the symmetrical relationship between fermions and bosons, which can be seen to some extent as a low-energy reduction from superstring theory.


If the superstring theory is correct, then supersymmetric particles must exist.


So the reverse is that if supersymmetric particles are found, they can provide strong experimental evidence for superstring theory, but that won't be strong evidence.


If they don't find it, superstring theory will be debunked.


However, Professor Deligne did not care much about the world of physics. The focus is on pure mathematical physics.


Particularly number theory and algebraic geometry.


"It's too early to survive" Edward Witten said with a smile. He then joked, "I think my Nobel Prize will be behind Stephen Hawking ... I won't have a chance."


Only an experimentally proven theory can win the Nobel Prize.Finding the strings that make up the universe is far more difficult than proving the theory of evaporation of black holes.


The latter is theoretically achievable.It is only necessary to create black holes on a small scale. Then, one could use the equipment to observe these black holes evaporating at the speed of light.


However, the former could not be completed by the Hadron Collider. It took several generations to create a collider that could observe in one dimension.


It is impossible to prove superstring theory with current technology.


When Professor Deligne heard his friend speak in a self-deprecating tone, he smiled and said, "He also listened to the report?"


Edward Witten smiled and said, “He didn't listen. He reported. Can you trust him? Directive 750 GeV presented by an intern. He used a probabilistic method to calculate the peak probability of characteristics appearing in the 750 GeV energy region, and then guess what happened? CERN researchers conducted a one-month experiment and found a peak of these characteristics in the Hadron Collider. "


Professor Deligne stared at the thesis for a long time before he suddenly said, "I didn't realize he was so talented in physics either."


"Yes" said Edward Witten, nodding his head with approval. He then said, “I heard he was coming to Princeton next year. I want to accept him as my student. "


Deligne said, “It depends on the choice itself. I think he's more talented in number theory. ”


Edward Witten smiled and did not respond.


He hoped that Lu Zhou would choose him but Lu Zhou might not choose any of them.


When Professor Deligne opened the last page of this thesis, his eyebrows twitched.


Deligne shook her head as she replied, "Nothing."


He only praised the cleverness of the Group Structure Method, but when he read the last line, he was shocked.


If Lu Zhou's thesis was bad, he would write to him an angry email.


...


Big guesses take a lot of time to test the truth.


Lu Zhou had no idea how long this would take, but he expected the examination process to be quicker. Hopefully it can be done before the end of the year.


After Polignac's conjecture ended, Lu Zhou spent all his time on Mr. Frank's project.


Frank would communicate by email about supersymmetric supplement theory.Although Lu Zhou had doubts about that theory, he was still trying to find common ground while keeping his opinion.


Lu Zhou had no choice. He could only take mathematical problems from theory, and he could not construct his own theories.


The main part of this supersymmetric complement theory was mainly done by Mr. Frank. Lu Zhou was responsible for processing the data and fixing the gaps of mathematical theory from a mathematical point of view, thus making it look more mathematically aesthetic.


Lu Zhou's work was actually very important.


The reason why string theory is accepted by others is that it is mathematically beautiful.


It was soon October when Professor Lu called Lu Zhou to his office.


“We're going to Beijing on the 20th.I've booked a ticket for you, so start preparing. ”


Out of curiosity, Lu Zhou asked, "OK ... Professor, can you tell me why we left?"


Professor Lu smiled and replied, “No, it's just the 12th China National Mathematical Society Conference. It is also the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party. Some parents propose to hold a conference together. Also, that Old Qiu man is coming, so I will take you. ”


F* ck?


Why do you sound so calm?


It's a big deal!


Lu Zhou wondered, "Isn't the conference in November? Why in October? Also, why do you go to math conferences?Aren't you a physicist? "


However, that was not the main point because Lu Zhou remembered that this conference was only by invitation.


Finally, Lu Zhou asked, "Can you leave without an invitation?"


“I have an invitation, don't worry about that. Just come with me. This is a good thing for you, ” Professor Lu said as he waved his hand. He then said, “Oh yes, isn't your research topic alleged to be Polignac?Are there any new research results? If anything, I suggest you apply for a report at this conference. This is a good opportunity. "


Reporting at such a high-level conference was a great honor. Although Professor Lu is involved in theoretical physics, he is no stranger to the world of mathematics.


At this time, however, he did not know that Polignac's alleged thesis had already been submitted to Annual Mathematics by Lu Zhou. It is already in the process of peer review.


The proposed thesis cannot be reported at the conference as it will be counted as a double submission.


Lu Zhou started to think about it carefully. Other than Polignac's conjecture, he had no other interesting research results to present.


However, it has a "Group Structure Method" which can be considered as a result of research.


Perhaps I will type in the thesis of the Group Structure Method and report it at the conference!


Lu Zhou smiled at Professor Lu and said, "I'll prepare something."


Professor Lu smiled and said, “Alright, get ready. Oh yeah, the delivery deadline is next Friday.Speed up."


Lu Zhou, "... ?!"


F* ck?


You just tell me now!
