Princeton University, a cafe on the corner of the campus.

The bright old man in the head sits in the corner, drinking coffee while looking at thesis in his hand.

Sitting across from him is Edward Witten, who is also enjoying afternoon tea.

Looking at thesis in the hands of old friends, the old mister asked with a smile.

“What are you looking at?”

“An interesting thesis submission,” Professor Pierre Deligne flipped a page and said casually, “About Polignac conjecture.”

After a pause, he couldn’t help but add a sentence with a thumbs up, “very interesting proof.”

Edward Witten: “Lu Zhou?”

“Yes,” holding a ballpoint pen and making a few marks on thesis, Pierre Deligne continued in a chattering voice, “I missed the academic report and it was definitely your biggest loss this year.”

Witten laughed and said: “haha, I agree with you, especially after I have seen myself, my regrets are even stronger.”

Pierre Deligne looked up at him unexpectedly: “Oh? When did you go to the other side of the Pacific?”

Witten: “It’s the other side of the Atlantic. Have you forgotten that I just came back from there?”

Pierre Deligne raised his eyebrows and asked, “Have you met the kid at CERN?”

Witten said with a smile: “Did you not read the news recently?”

Pierre Deligne shook his head without thinking, “Is there no attention, is there anything new?”

Witten: “The LHCb International Cooperation Group has published five pieces of information on the discovery of gamma particles, and found characteristic peaks of suspected supersymmetric particle signals at 750GeV.”

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

In a nutshell, supersymmetry discusses a symmetry between a fermion and a boson, which can be seen to some extent as a low-energy deduction of superstring theory.

If the superstring theory holds, then supersymmetric particles must exist.

So the reverse is that if supersymmetric particles are found, they can provide powerful experimental evidence for superstring theory (not proof!).

But if you can’t find it, the superstring theory that has developed nearly 30 years will be deadlocked.

However, Pierre Deligne is not particularly concerned about the Physics world. Although he and his late teacher have done a lot of research in the Physics world, his focus is on pure mathematics.

Especially number theory, and algebraic geometry.

“Congratulations to me is too early,” Witten laughed, in a joking tone. “I think my Nobel Prize has to be ranked behind Stephen Hawking… There is probably no chance in this life.”

To get the gunpowder award, it must be an experimentally proven theory. Finding the string that makes up the universe is much more difficult than making a black hole to prove the black hole evaporation theory.

The latter is theoretically achievable, requiring only enough collision energy, creating a black hole on a tiny scale, and improving the observation equipment to observe this black hole that evaporates at the speed of light.

But the former, but not the Hadron Collider, can be solved by rising several levels, but it needs the minimum observation scale of human civilization, and goes down to two levels – to observe the one-dimensional level.

With the existing technical means, Imagine fully proves the superstring theory, just as the ancients put a firecracker under the stool and want to go to the moon as whimsical.

Hearing the old friend’s self-deprecating, Pierre Deligne faintly laughed and said casually: “He was listening to the report at the time?”

Witten Laughed said: “It’s not a report, it’s a report. Do you believe that 750GeV’s clues were actually presented by an intern at the conference. He used probabilistic methods to figure out the 750GeV. The probability of a characteristic peak in the energy zone, and then guess what happened? CERN researchers did a month of experiments, and found this characteristic peak on the two detectors of the Hadron Collider.”

Pierre Deligne, who had been staring at thesis, squinted a little. After a while, he said with a little unexpected tone: “…I didn’t expect him to have this kind of innate talent in physics.”

“Yeah,” Witten’s old mister praised nodded. “I heard that he will come to Princeton next year, and I intend to accept him as a student.”

Pierre Deligne snorted: “…it depends on his own choices. I personally think that his innate talent in number theory is still better.”

Edward Witten laughed, did not speak.

No one wants to bring a fool.

This problem is the same in reverse.

At this moment, the Pierre Deligne, who turned thesis to the last page, suddenly twitched.

Witten was interested in asking: “What happened?”

Pierre Deligne shook his head and his expression returned to nature.

“It’s nothing.”

He also praised the ingenious use of the group theory method in thesis, studied the “group structure method” mentioned in the article, and saw the last line. The kid was mischievous enough to leave a sentence and could not write.

If you don’t look at the true writing of thesis, he will definitely fight back to let this kid rewrite.

……

A major conjecture proves that it takes a certain amount of time, and it takes a lot of time to test its correctness.

Lu Zhou doesn’t know how long this time is. The only hope is that the reviewer’s movements are faster. It is best to finish before this year.

The proof of Polignac conjecture came to an end, and in the following time, Lu Zhou put all his energy into the subject of Frank’s old mister.

Frank’s old mister always exchanges super-symmetric supplement theory with him from time to time. Although Lu Zhou has doubts about this theory, in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, he still put the dispute on hold.

No way, let him pick the fault from the perspective of mathematics, but he wants to build a theory by himself, so his current level is not enough.

The main part of this supersymmetric complement theory is mainly done by Frank Mister, who is responsible for processing the data and repairing the theoretical loopholes in mathematics from the perspective of mathematics, making it look more aesthetically pleasing.

Don’t underestimate this work, this is very important.

The reason why string theory can be accepted by people is precisely because of its beauty in mathematics, it is really impeccable.

It was time for 10 to arrive, and Academician Lu called Lu Zhou to the office.

“20, let’s go to Beijing, I have already booked your ticket for you. You should pay attention to the time.”

“Okay… Professor, can you tell us what we are doing?” Lu Zhou finally couldn’t stand the curiosity in his heart and asked.

Academician Lu laughed, unexpectedly did not sell off the customs, said: “In fact, there is nothing, that is, the 12th National Congress of the Chinese Mathematicals, just the 80th anniversary of the establishment, a few old guys proposed to have a unique commemorative academic At the meeting, fortunately, the two meetings were held together. Just as Qiu old man came over, I will take you to the past.”

Lying in the trough?

Is this called nothing?

This is a major event!

However, Lu Zhou is strange. Isn’t this conference generally open in 11? How to advance to the end of 10? And how do you relate to mathematics academic conferences when you work in physics?

But these are not the main points. The point is that Lu Zhou remembers that it is necessary to invite invitations to participate in such meetings.

In the end, Lu Zhou asked this question: “Can there be no invitations to enter?”

“The invitation is here, you don’t have to worry about it, just follow me and it will be a good thing for you.” Academician Lu smiled and waved his hand and continued, “Yes, I remember you reported it.” The topic I applied for was Polignac conjecture. Have you had any new research results recently? If so, I suggest that you can apply for a report, which is a good opportunity.”

Reporting at this top-level academic conference in China is very helpful for a scholar’s academic reputation in China. Although Academician Lu is engaged in theoretical physics, he always has to deal with people in the mathematics community. So, it is no stranger to things in the mathematics world.

But at this moment he still does not know, the proof of Polignac conjecture thesis, has been cast into the “mathematics annual” by this kid, and has now even entered the peer review.

Thesis, which has already submitted the journal, has not made any more novel research results on this basis. It cannot be cast in the academic conference as it is, because this is a multi-note.

Lu Zhou thought about it carefully. Apart from Polignac conjecture, I seem to have no interesting research results recently.

However, his own “group structure” when studying Polignac conjecture, pulled out alone seems to be a research result.

Simply put this “group structure” theory into thesis, and contribute to this academic conference!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou had an idea in mind, watching Lu Academician laughed and said seriously: “I will be well prepared.”

Academician Lu smiled nodded: “That’s it, you will go back and prepare. Right, the submission deadline seems to be next Friday, you should try to hurry, I will not delay your time.”

Lu Zhou: “…???”

Fuck!

Then tell me now? !
