Such tasks shouldn't always be left to Li Jian Gao and Qiao Ze to handle, right? Even though there is Su Mucheng, how could you really expect a young girl to entertain esteed guests?
Although he was annoyed internally, since it was the hotel that they had booked and they were so enthusiastic, Zhang Hongcai naturally couldn't say anything.
Since Li Jian Gao didn't have any other ideas either, after arriving in the room and exchanging a few pleasantries, he had Qiao Ze bring up the PPT prepared for this report eting at Yanbei University.
After Qiao Ze brought up the PPT, he sat to one side and began to explain the problem to Su Mucheng.
Yu Chenggong sat on the sofa with a full face of smiles, leisurely and contentedly sipping his tea.
He also paid attention to the movents of Zhang Hongcai and Li Jian Gao, ready to top up their cups with water at any mont if Zhang Hongcai chatted about sothing excessive.
Fortunately, both n began to grow silent once they started flipping through Qiao Ze's PPT.
Similar to the style of today's press conference, the PPT was in minimalistic mode, composed mainly of a series of formulas, but the difference was that it included many more proof processes.
How should one put it, Zhang Hongcai could even perceive Qiao Ze's personality from this PPT—few words, simple, and direct. The only problem was still—hard to understand.
Really hard to understand.
If the first half was mainly content that already existed in the paper, Zhang Hongcai and Li Jian Gao, who had studied Qiao Ze's papers, could sowhat keep up with Qiao Ze's train of thought, but when it ca to the second half, they began to feel lost.
"hΛ(l)=∑（rows）∑（c）·h^(c,c 1) ∑(colus)∑(r)·h^(r,r 1) ∑(i∈Λ(l))·h(i)..."
When he saw this, Zhang Hongcai suddenly felt the series of formulas looked familiar and quickly recalled that two days ago, he had seen the sa formula written on the draft paper in Xu Changshu's office.
After pondering for a mont, he flipped back a page in the PPT and carefully reviewed the proof process of the previous step.
Then suddenly felt a roaring in his brain.
He finally understood why Xu Changshu chose to resign and go to Xilin University of Technology, even defiantly so.
He impulsively raised his head and asked Qiao Ze with palpable excitent, "Qiao Ze, is this... are you trying to prove the existence of mass gap?"
"Mm." Qiao Ze looked up at Zhang Hongcai, nodded, and casually responded.
Su Mucheng also curiously looked up at Zhang Hongcai.
She felt that this Yanbei University professor seed overly excited.
Is it worth it?
It's just one of the Millennium Prize Problems, isn't it?
The seven Millennium Prize Problems have been solved before.
The Poincaré Conjecture was proven several years ago, wasn't it?
"So how far have you gotten?" Zhang Hongcai cald down a bit and then asked. He suddenly felt that his question was too presumptuous; after all, this was soone's independent research, so he changed his question, "What I an is, at what step are you stuck."
"The classical Yang-Mills field is massless, but the diator particles of strong interaction can have mass. This leads to the subsequent proof process being extrely complicated, and I haven't found a good approach to handle it," Qiao Ze answered.
"Hmm..." Zhang Hongcai was stunned for a mont, then instinctively said, "What if you take it in two steps? For example, first you could prove the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills Equations? Then go on to prove the existence of mass gap?"
Qiao Ze tilted his head to look at Zhang Hongcai, thought for a mont, and said, "Is that possible?"
The next mont, he suddenly rembered that Li Jian Gao had also discussed the sa topic with him before.
He suddenly had an epiphany.
Right...
It indeed seed possible.
His publishing two papers in a row in "Mathematics Annual" was clear proof.
The first paper laid the foundation, and the second paper completely solved the problem.
Qiao Ze had not considered this approach, simply because the difficulty of proving the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills Equations compared to the mass gap proof was vastly different. From the current situation, the latter would require an unprecedented mathematical thod to complete the final arguntation.
After all, solving this problem would an elucidating a nature's law that even physicists didn't yet fully understand.
"Of course, you can! If you really can prove the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills Equations, do you know what that ans? You'll beco one of the youngest and most famous mathematicians in the world. You will be invited to give an opening one-hour presentation at the World Congress of Mathematicians!
You will be the most competitive contender for the Fields dal in 2026! If successful, you'll be Huaxia's first Fields dal laureate, and also the youngest in the world!"
Zhang Hongcai beca even more excited, even unconsciously waving his arms to emphasize his point.
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded, casually acknowledging it.
He had already done that report eting, and it seed just so.
As for the Fields dal...
Actually, Qiao Ze didn't particularly value it.
After all, it's not like winning the Fields dal or the Nobel Prize would help him achieve his wish.
His goal was to understand this world, this universe; rely proving the existence of a solution to a mathematical equation actually wasn't that significant.
Zhang Hongcai's passionate words even made him faintly feel that if it were so easy to beco the most competitive winner of the Fields dal, then perhaps the award was being given out too hastily?
It seed not to carry much weight.
Seeing Qiao Ze's reaction, Zhang Hongcai obviously beca quite anxious.
"No, Qiao Ze, don't you understand? If you can achieve this result, it ans a leaning of resources. If you can prove the existence of solutions to the Yang-Mills Equations, many collaborators will co to you proactively, and you will get access to lots of precious data. Also, the computing resources you can use, manpower resources... ah, I can't explain it to Qiao Ze, Professor Li, you explain to the kid."
