"Oh, take a seat. How about a cup of coffee?" Edward nodded, indicating he understood.
Professor Sarnak was a big na in the fields of number theory and mathematical analysis, often holding etings in the adjacent mathematics departnt.
However, the fact that Peter Schultz was willing to attend this ti probably ant more than just participating in a conference.
"Sure, that would be great. I could really use an ou lai coffee to perk up."
"We only have Arican coffee."
"Hmm... that's fine."
Edward Witten stood up and, while helping Peter Schultz with the coffee, casually asked, "Did you see the two problems Qiao posted?"
"Yes, I got the email just after getting off the plane. The second problem is interesting, although it's just a minimization problem. I think if we use the variational thod's Euler-Lagrange equation, we could obtain a movent equation, but..."
Before Peter Schultz could finish, Edward Witten interrupted, "But the action quantity expression in the problem is extrely complicated; the resulting movent equations would be quite tedious. It's like the Yang-Mills Equations, unsolvable. It has beco another world problem."
Peter Schultz spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness.
There was no way around it, just as Edward had said.
The traditional mathematical thods for solving such problems would only yield a very complex equation.
The shortest route from four to six dinsions was already an extrely complex concept.
"So we still haven't been able to directly use the ideas from Super Helical Space Algebra to simplify and solve the problem, making such equations solvable. Could it be that Qiao Ze is using this thod to remind us of a new direction of research?"
"No, I think Qiao is likely busy creating a brand-new higher-dinsional geotric system, which complents the new algebra he has constructed. He's an ambitious guy. Okay, you should know, I don't an 'ambition' in a derogatory sense."
After Peter Schultz said this, both n fell silent.
It wasn't until Edward Witten placed the prepared coffee in front of him that he began to summarize.
"Actually, I'm not concerned about this, but Qiao ntioned in the email that he's recently been focusing on ultimately solving the mass gap problem. If what you're saying is correct, it probably indicates that the geotric system he's building now is greatly beneficial toward ultimately solving this problem.
In other words, if he is indeed constructing a higher-dinsional geotric system, it will likely be closely related to the existing microphysical systems. Or perhaps that's just the case. I've already analyzed the expression of this problem.
The special thing about this expression is that it introduces trics to consider the geotric structure of space. This might involve gravitational effects or so other properties that go beyond traditional electromagnetic theory because the concept of trics is usually associated with the curvature of gravity and spaceti."
Upon hearing Edward Witten's words, Peter Schultz was stunned.
It took him a mont to react, then he said, "You an Qiao is not only studying the mass gap hypothesis, he's directly cut into the grand unification topic?"
Edward Witten did not explain but went to the table, picked up his scattered manuscripts, and then handed them to Peter Schultz.
Soon, Schultz's full attention was engaged in the study of the manuscripts.
After all, in the car he had only read the problems and engaged in the simplest reflection. Surely it couldn't compare to the valuable conclusions Edward Witten had summarized in his office.
After a while, Schultz lifted his head, astonished, and said, "You an he's trying to establish a set of theories for the behavior of non-traditional electromagnetic fields in gravitational or curved spaceti?"
