Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Princeton University, cafe on the corner of campus.

The bright old man sits in the corner, drinking coffee and looking at the paper in his hand.

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

Looking at the paper in the hands of an old friend, the old man asked with a smile.

“What are you looking at? ”

“An interesting paper contribution,” Professor Deligne said, turning a page, "about Polynesian speculation. ”

After a moment of pause, he couldn't help but add in a complimentary tone, "An interesting way to prove it. ”

Edward Witten: "The Ark? ”

“Yes,” Deligne continued in a chatty tone, marking the paper with a ballpoint pen, "missing that academic report is definitely your biggest loss of the year. ”

Witten smiled and said, "Ha ha, I agree with you, especially after seeing myself, my regrets are stronger. ”

Deligne looked up at him unexpectedly: "Oh? When did you go across the Pacific? ”

Witten: “It's the other side of the Atlantic. Did you forget I just got back from that side? ”

Deligne raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you meet that kid in CERN? ”

Witten smiled and said, "Have you not seen the news lately? ”

Deligne shook her head without thinking, “What's new without paying attention? ”

Witten: “The LHCb International Cooperation Group published information on the discovery of five chromophoric particles and found a characteristic peak of suspected supersymmetric particle signals at 750 GeV. ”

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

Simply put, the theory of supersymmetry discusses a symmetry between Fermiton and Boson, which can be seen to some extent as the inference of the hyper-string theory's low energy marker.

If the superstring theory is valid, then the supersymmetrical particles must exist.

So in turn, if supersymmetrical particles are found, they can provide powerful experimental evidence (not proof!) for superstring theory.

But if it is not found, the hyperstring theory, which has developed for almost 30 years, will be at an impasse.

Delinière, however, is not particularly interested in the physics community, and although he and his late teacher have done a great deal of research in physics, his field of focus is purely mathematical.

Especially mathematics, and algebraic geometry.

“It's too early to congratulate me,” Witten laughed, joking, “I think my Nobel Prize has to be behind Stephen Hawking... probably not much opportunity in my life. ”

To win a powder prize, it must be an experimentally proven theory, and finding the string that makes up the universe can be much more difficult than creating a black hole to prove the black hole evaporation theory.

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

But the former, instead of just going up a few energy levels in the Hadron Collider, requires the smallest scale of observation of human civilization, going down two levels —— to observe things at one dimensional level.

With the technical means available, paranoia completely proves the hyperstring theory, just as ancient people inserted firecrackers under the stool and wanted to climb the moon.

Hearing this mockery from an old friend, Deligne smiled slightly and said casually: “Was he listening to the debriefing? ”

Witten smiled and said, "It's not a debriefing, it's a debriefing. Can you believe that the 750GeV trail was presented by an intern at the debrief? Using probabilistic methods, he extrapolated the probability of a feature peak in the 750GeV energy zone, and guess what? The researchers at CERN did a month-long experiment, and they actually found this peak characteristic on two detectors, the Hadron Collider. ”

Dellígne, who had been staring at the thesis, stunned for a while before saying in a slightly unexpected tone: "… I didn't expect him to have this gift physically. ”

“Yeah," Mr. Witten nodded, “I heard he's coming to Princeton next year, and I intend to take him as a student. ”

Deligne grinned: "… it depends on his own choices, and I personally think his talent in mathematics is better. ”

Edward Witten smiled and didn't speak.

Nobody wants to bring a fool.

The opposite is true of this question.

At this point, Professor Deligne turned his paper to the last page, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

Witten asked with interest, "What's wrong? ”

Deligne shook her head and her expression restored nature.

“Nothing.”

He also praised the masterful use of the group theory method in the paper, studied the "group method” mentioned in it, and he saw the last line, but the kid left behind not enough space to write.

If it wasn't for the paper, he would have called back to get the kid to rewrite it.

……

A major conjecture, proving that it takes a certain amount of time, will also take a considerable amount of time to test its correctness.

The Ark does not know how long this time is, the only hope is for the reviewers to move faster, preferably by the end of the year.

Polynyak's proof of conjecture came to an end, and the next time, the ark focused all its energy on the subject of old Mr. Frank.

Mr. Frank always exchanged supersymmetrical supplementary theories with him from time to time via e-mail, and despite his doubts about this set of theories, the Ark set aside the controversy for the time being, in a spirit of mutual disagreement.

There's no way to get him to pick a problem from a mathematical point of view, but it's not enough to build a theory on his own at his current level.

The main part of this supersymmetrical supplementary theory, which Mr. Frank did primarily, was to process the data while at the same time fixing the mathematical loopholes in the theory from a mathematical point of view, making it look more mathematically aesthetic.

Don't underestimate the job, it's important.

String theory is accepted precisely because of its mathematical beauty, which is impeccable.

Soon after October, Monsignor Lu called the ark to his office.

“On the 20th, let's go to the capital. I've booked your ticket for you. Please schedule a time. ”

“OK... Professor, can you tell us exactly what we're doing?” At the end of the day, the ark still couldn't hold its curiosity, asked.

Lu Academician laughed, unexpectedly did not sell the seal, said: “In fact, it is nothing, it is the 12th National Congress of the Chinese National Mathematical Society, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of its establishment, several old guys proposed to have a special commemorative academic conference, fortunately the two meetings were held together. Just in time for Old Qiu to join us, I'll take you there to have a good time. ”

Shit?

Is that nothing?

This is a big deal!

But the strange thing about the Ark is, isn't it usually November? How did it get to the end of October? And you're a physicist, how did you get involved in a mathematics conference?

None of this, however, focuses on the fact that the Ark remembers that participation in such meetings requires an invitation.

Eventually, the ark asked the question: “Can you get in without an invitation? ”

“I have the invitation. You don't have to worry about it. Just follow me. It's good for you.” Master Lu shook his hand with a smile and continued, "By the way, I think the subject you applied for when you were reporting to Wanqing was Polynyak's guess, do you have any new research results lately? If there is, I suggest you apply for a report, which is a good opportunity. ”

Reporting at such top-level academic conferences in the country is very helpful to the academic prestige of a scholar in the country. Although he is a theoretical physicist himself, he is also unfamiliar with things in mathematics because he always deals with people in the mathematics community.

But at this point, he doesn't know that Polynyak's speculative testimonial paper, already in the Mathematics Yearbook, is now even in peer review.

Papers that have been submitted to journals, without more novel research results on this basis, cannot be thrown into academic conferences unaltered, because it counts as a single overdraft.

The Ark has thought about it and, apart from Bolinian speculation, seems to have had little interesting research recently.

However, the “cluster approach” that he created when studying Bolinian speculation, pulled out alone, seemed to be something that could be shown as a result of the study.

Why don't we just organize this “cluster approach” theory into papers and contribute to this academic conference!

When I thought of it, I had an idea in the heart of the Ark. I looked at Lu Yard and laughed and said seriously: “I'll be ready. ”

Master Lu nodded with a smile: "Well, go back and get ready. By the way, the deadline for submissions seems to be next Friday. You try to be as quick as you can, and I won't hold you back. ”

Ark: “…???? ”

Grass!

So now you're telling me?!
