Existence problem of Yang-Mills gauge field?

Looking at the mathematical formula Lin Xiao wrote on it, the physicists present reacted. After all, this is what theoretical physicists like them have been studying.

Of course, mathematicians also reacted later. In any case, although this problem belongs to physics, since it is included in the seven major millennium mathematical problems, for these top mathematicians, even if they do not know

If you study it, simply take a look and understand something, you will still be able to do it.

So at this moment, the scientists present felt extremely puzzled by what Lin Xiao was doing at this time.

What is this going to do?

Didn't he just finish narrating that paper a moment ago?

Shouldn’t it be time to ask questions next?

Although the people present just now understood how his method came about through Lin Xiao's explanation, they still have some questions about the entire paper, so many people are planning to ask questions.

Why did Lin Xiao turn around and write this?

Everyone present could not help but have an unbelievable guess. Could it be that Lin Xiao also wanted to solve this problem during this report?

"Witten, you should know what's going on, right?"

In the seat below, Maldasi looked serious. While watching Lin Xiao's next steps, he asked Witten next to him.

He recalled what Witten said when he and Witten chatted before the report began, and asked in great surprise: "Don't tell me, this is the surprise Lin wants to give us? No, it should be a big surprise?!

"

Witten laughed and said: "Let's just look down. For now, I can only tell you that this is just a surprise, not a big surprise."

"Isn't this a big surprise?" Maldacena said it was hard to believe. If this is not a big surprise, then what is the big surprise?

Proving the existence of the Yang-Mills gauge field is definitely a major event in their theoretical physics world. Although it is not comparable to the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity, for many physicists, this is still a big deal.

of great significance and effect.

After all, this question is about the strong interaction, and there are so many physicists studying the strong interaction, so there may be quite a few physicists who are excited by this incident.

So, what is the bigger surprise than this surprise?

Maldacena naturally thought of the problem behind this problem, which is the problem of mass gap.

"What you mean is, in addition to this proof of existence, does Lin also need to solve the mass gap problem?"

Hearing Maldacena's guess, Witten just smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, he pointed at Lin Xiao above and said, "Just keep reading, it will only take an hour or two."

Looking at Witten's appearance, Maldasi felt itchy in his heart. Although it was indeed only for an hour or two, how could he endure this kind of thing if he wanted to?

But when he looked up and saw Lin Xiao's next steps, his attention was immediately attracted.

"This...is this?"

He widened his eyes and looked at what Lin Xiao wrote at this time.

"Is this a derivation that directly uses the conclusion of the unification of relativity and quantum mechanics?"

In an instant, he put his mind into it. At this time, the method used by Lin Xiao in the proof process will provide certain theoretical guidance for physicists like them in their subsequent research, especially in mathematics.

guide.

So even though Maldacena felt very itchy in her heart, she also started to read it seriously.

After all, in terms of mathematics, although he is quite confident, he still has to learn from Lin Xiao, a top mathematician who has won the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Of course, it wasn't just him. Even Witten, who also won the Fields Medal next to him, also watched Lin Xiao's process seriously.

Although he knew that Lin Xiao had proved this problem, he had not seen Lin Xiao's proof process, so when he saw Lin Xiao's proof at this moment, his eyes could not help but light up and he felt a certain amount of inspiration.

.

As a result, everyone in the audience quietly watched Lin Xiao's performance on the stage. Everyone fell into silence, and no one spoke.

Although the students who came to watch did not know what happened, after all, most of them could not even understand a formula written by Lin Xiao on the blackboard, but at this moment they also knew that their Master Lin

Probability has done something incredible again.

In this way, as time passed, Lin Xiao wrote more and more things on the blackboard, and the same things became more and more complicated.

When one blackboard was used up, another blackboard was replaced. Even after the replacement, Lin Xiao did not open his mouth to explain, but just wrote on his own.

Of course, because of this, fewer and fewer people can keep up with him.

Even some famous physicists, even Nobel Prize winners in physics, need a certain amount of time to think, but before they can think about it, Lin Xiao has already written the next step.

This made them feel helpless. Why did they write so quickly, without saying a word, and without giving them any time to think?

But you can't just look up and wait. If your friends find out when the time comes, they might guess that you didn't understand Lin Xiao's steps. Then you won't be laughed at by your friends later?

So they endured the pain of not being able to keep up and let their brains run to the extreme to keep up with Lin Xiao's calculations.

In this way, the thousands of spectators in the huge Beijing University Auditorium, almost full of seats, seemed to be watching a mime for a moment, and the only protagonist of this mime was Lin Xiao on the stage, and the man in his hand

of chalk and the blackboards.

Twenty minutes passed and Lin Xiao also wrote on the blackboard for half an hour.

The handwriting stopped in the middle of the fourth blackboard. The four blackboards were filled with dazzling mathematical and physical symbols.

More than 99% of the people in the audience had expressions of "It's finally over", while the remaining less than 1% had expressions of "I see."

The proof of existence has been completed.

The remaining less than 1% of people are all those who can follow Lin Xiao's thinking. At this time, in their hearts, apart from being amazed that Lin Xiao has achieved this, they sincerely admire Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao had just completed the unification of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, but he was able to use it in the next proof in the blink of an eye. This ability to integrate everything was something they could not learn no matter what.

At this moment, Lin Xiao also spoke: "I'm sorry, everyone, I kept you waiting for so long."

His voice broke the continuation of the mime, and at the same time made everyone present turn their attention to him again.

"I know that everyone may be wondering why I suddenly want to study the relationship between gravitons and relativity, and why I suddenly unify quantum mechanics and relativity."

"Actually, these purposes are for what you see, yes, it is the existence problem of the Yang-Mills gauge field."

Lin Xiao smiled, and then continued: "Haha, to put it this way, the unified theory of relativity and quantum mechanics is actually just to solve such a problem, but it is a bit... well, what should I say, killing a chicken with a bull's-eye? Haha, no

Having said that, when I was solving this problem, I didn’t think too much about it. I just thought about it and then did it. In the end, I accidentally succeeded.”

The people below immediately rolled their eyes wildly.

We know you are awesome, but is now the time to talk about this?

Isn't it about another issue?

The problem of the Yang-Mills gauge field is divided into two parts, and the most critical problem is the mass gap.

The combination of these two problems is a complete millennium problem.

As for which of the two questions is more difficult... the people present don't know, after all, they have never done it.

However, Lin Xiao did not disappoint them next.

"Of course, everyone must be aware that there is another problem with the Yang-Mills gauge field."

"That's the quality gap issue."

"To be honest, I haven't solved this problem yet -"

When Lin Xiao said this, the physicists present showed regretful expressions.

It seems that they cannot witness the second history today, but only 1.5 histories.

Witten underneath also showed a look of regret, as if the big surprise was gone...

But it is understandable. After all, there is only one day from yesterday to today. It is entirely possible that Lin Xiao has not solved it.

But, what about the surprise Lin Xiao said she wanted to give him?

Just when he was confused, Lin Xiao on the stage said: "However, at this report meeting, I want to challenge myself to prove the existence of the quality gap on the spot!"

The people present who had just felt a little regretful were once again shocked by Lin Xiao's words.

Challenged to solve quality gap issues on the spot?

"Is this something that can be done?"

Everyone present had this question in their minds.

This is not as easy as Lin Xiao's two conjectures in the report.

Although asking questions and solving problems are both important, they are obviously different in terms of difficulty!

Witten was also surprised. Is Lin Xiao sure he wants to do this?

He believed that Lin Xiao must have a certain idea, but it was not impossible for him to be stuck on a problem for ten days and a half, or even three years and five years at the last moment.

And if Lin Xiao fails in the challenge, doesn't it mean that he has revealed his ideas? It would be bad if others knew his ideas and completed the proof first. In fact, this matter is also

It's not that it never happened.

Even when Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture, he encountered this kind of thing. At first, because Perelman's proof was too concise, many people couldn't understand it, which led to some people having the idea of ​​stealing.

He wanted to create a more perfect version according to Perelman's ideas and take away this honor.
To be continued...
