Chapter 1108

We have asked our partners for their opinions. As for the paper on the Beilinson Bloch conjecture, Lu Zhou published it in future mathematics as usual.

At the same time, the related preprint is also hung on arXiv.

Although the Beilinson Bloch conjecture is not as famous as the Riemann conjecture or the Goldbach conjecture, it has a special significance to associate the higher-order k-group of elliptic curve e with the algebra and analytic invariants of the number field F and elliptic curve e, but it has given it an extraordinary position in the field of algebraic geometry and number theory.

As a branch of pure mathematics, algebraic geometry has the largest number of researchers and the largest influence. This preprint immediately attracted considerable attention once it was published.

Not just because of the Beilinson Bloch conjecture.

What's more, it's Professor Lu who proved Riemann's conjecture at this year's International Conference of mathematicians who solved this problem

Princeton Institute of advanced studies.

Coffee shop on the first floor.

Sitting by the window, Witten, who was drinking coffee, was chatting with Professor deline, who was holding a printed paper in his hand.

"The Hadron Collider on the moon has been completed. It is said that the first test will be started in December. It is estimated that I will have to go out for a long time."

"Oh, it seems that your theory has a chance to be verified?" asked drignard, unconcerned

Hearing this, I took a sip of my coffee and shook my head with a smile.

"It's too far away, but for the standard model, it's a blessing. We can reveal the secrets of the micro world and the universe we are in What are you looking at? "

Noticing Witten's curious vision of the paper in his hand, deline pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, without any undulating corners of his mouth at ordinary times, and suddenly a smile was raised rarely.

"Proof of Beilinson Bloch conjecture It seems that they have made progress in their research. "

Witten: whose research do you mean

"Lu Zhou, and his great unity of algebra and geometry."

Hearing this amazing proposition, Professor Witten was slightly stunned for a while, and said after a long time.

"It's too exaggerated When did he start to study the subject? "

As a physicist who has won the fields prize, he probably knows more than many mathematicians what this subject will mean if it is completed.

The old methods will be unified.

Just as analytic geometry was invented, people combined geometric problems with algebraic problems through Cartesian coordinates for the first time, leading a series of scientific and technological leaps in the 16th century, such as astronomy, physics, navigation, engineering and so on.

And mathematics will enter a new era.

"After solving the Riemann conjecture, maybe he began to think about it before studying it..."

Turning the paper over a page, Professor delegne continued, "it's not just him, including me and my tutor, but anyone who has made achievements in the field of algebraic geometry will think about this problem. Is there an elegant and aesthetic mathematical way to transform the generation problem and the geometry problem. If it works, even if it just proves that it works, we can benefit a lot from it. "

After a long silence, Professor Witten sighed softly and said in a joking tone.

"It seems that I'm running out of time."

Deline: "it's nothing, it's just that you don't pay attention to this direction. I was also surprised when I first heard that he started to study this subject, especially now that he has made some phased results, and even cheated the old man of faltins from Germany. In my mind, after two thousand years, he seldom left maples to study as a visiting scholar in other places. "

I don't care about the old guy in fultins very much. Witten watched him ask his most concerned questions seriously.

"Do you think he can make it?"

"Personal point of view, it's only a matter of time," deline said after thinking for a while as his thin index finger pushed his glasses down the bridge of his nose. "Maybe it's an empiricism problem, but I always feel that there should be no problem in the world that he can't solve."

It seems that this statement is not accurate enough. After a while, he added.

"If this problem really belongs to this era and has solutions."

"It seems that you think highly of him," Witten said with a smile. "Let's make a bet. You think he will solve this problem before the first experiment of the LHC, or after the first experiment."

Upon hearing this, deline was slightly shocked, as if he didn't expect his old friend to ask such a strange question.

He frowned and thought for a while, but soon the frown began to spread.“…… If the first experiment is in December, I think it should be later. "

After all, it's less than two months before December.

Even though they have made great progress, it is really difficult for them to solve this problem in two months.

Witten: then I'll bet before that

Professor deline raised his eyebrows.

"Are you sure?"

Professor Witten said with a smile, "why not? I always think he will bring us a surprise. "

If the grand unified theory of algebra and geometry can be completed, it will not only affect mathematics, but also physics.

Whether it is condensed matter physics or high-energy physics, the unity of number and shape in the abstract sense will help physicists to reveal many things that are difficult for them to understand.

It's hard to say whether new physics can be born, but new methods will be born.

And these new methods can be used to solve the "old" problems that they could not solve.

Delinehan asked, turning away his mouth and laughing, in a jest.

"What do you think it's good to bet?"

"I remember the manuscript of Lu Zhou's graduation thesis is here. It's about Goldbach's conjecture," Professor Witten continued with a smile. "Last time I went to the flint library to borrow his manuscript on the study of 750 GeV energy region, I temporarily turned over his past research results, but I didn't find the one about Goldbach - Lu theorem. I think it's about you Here it is. "

There was some subtlety in the expression on his face, said deline, with a dry cough.

"I'm almost in the coffin, and I can't forget my collection So what are you going to bet against? "

Witten: how about the manuscript of M Theory

With a squint, Professor deline said rudely, "what do you mean by betting on something that you don't know will turn out to be wrong one day?"

"But it may also be the ultimate theory to explain the origin of the universe..."

Looking at Professor deline's unchanged face, Witten sighed, made a helpless expression on his face, and finally gave up the argument.

"Well, change it Some time ago, when I was tidying up my room, I turned out a lot of notes I had made when I was studying topology. There might be some useful things that I didn't have time to tidy up. In a word, they are about as thick as ten quantum physics books. "

Topology is probably Witten's best field.

One of the reasons why he won the fields prize in 1990 is because of his research on low-dimensional topology and the derivation of quantum invariants.

Sir Atia once said that his knowledge in mathematics has surpassed many scholars who are really engaged in this field, and his outstanding physical knowledge has provided a rich source of inspiration and intuition for the research of mathematics. It is even said that the reason why Sir Atia suddenly began to study physics in his later years was largely due to Witten.

Whether these manuscripts of topology research have the significance of collection or not, there is no doubt about their academic value.

It was for this reason that, after only a few seconds of hesitation, Professor deline held out his right hand without saying a word.

"Deal!"
