Chapter 226 A rich harvest, a pre-holiday gathering, Zhang Zhiqiang: I
He is so envious!
Wang Hao and Birkar spent a day together. Together they discussed the research direction of semi-topological structures and analyzed some specific issues.
After a day of communication, both of them felt that they had gained a lot.
Finally, Wang Hao also talked about the project issues, "This is a research that we jointly collaborate on, and the co-participant is Lin Bohan, but there will definitely be more participants in the future."
“We need to define the framework first, and then we can study it in detail.”
"The research will start after the year. We can communicate through email first. As long as it does not affect your normal work, you can come to Xihai University once a month and we will study the accumulated problems together."
They talked together for a long time before realizing that Qiu Chengwen was always with him.
Wang Hao also asked specifically, "Professor Qiu, there shouldn't be any problem with Kachel participating in our project, right?" He was referring to the university's restrictions.
Qiu Chengwen nodded feebly, "Of course there is no problem."
He didn't want to see Bill Carr participate in Wang Hao's project at all, but what could he do?
Can Bill Carr still be stopped?
Prevent the other party from pursuing freedom of academic research?
If he really did this, it would be equivalent to forcing Bill Carr to leave Shuimu University. After all, a Fields winner cannot even decide what to study, and there is no need to stay any longer.
That afternoon, Wang Hao left Shuimu University, but his trip did not end. Instead, he made an appointment with Professor Tian Hong for dinner in the evening.
Zhu Ping's 'personnel' work is progressing smoothly.
Tian Hong has applied for resignation and is determined to take up a teaching position at Xihai University after the year.
Wang Hao came to the capital and met with Tian Hong. They found a hot pot restaurant and had a good meal. They also talked about going to work at Xihai University.
For Tian Hong, this is a turning point in life.
Tian Hong is very interested in going to Xihai University. She is interested in participating in Wang Hao's project. In addition, she also hopes to change the environment.
Xihai University is a good choice, because at Xihai University, she can be taken more seriously and get more resources.
this point is very important.
To outsiders, being a professor at Capital University may seem like a good idea, but in fact, it's not always the case.
Many young professors in top domestic universities choose to go to small universities or go abroad to work and teach because they are not valued in universities.
Tian Hong, that’s it.
Although many people say that she is a mathematical genius, a genius is just a genius. She has excellent research results, but it is very difficult to be promoted in her position.
In addition, it is a project issue.
She mainly studies geometric representation theory and the Langlands Program, but it is very difficult to get funding for research in related fields, and it is also depressing to have her applications continuously rejected.
Before, Tian Hong was considering working in a foreign university, but now she has another option, which is to join Wang Hao's team at Xihai University.
Wang Hao and Tian Hong talked about a lot, including school treatment, laboratory treatment, etc.
He was indeed looking forward to Tian Hong's arrival.
Tian Hong can enhance the strength of the laboratory, and at the same time, it can also expand the research field. The laboratory does not yet have talents who study geometry in depth, and Tian Hong's arrival makes up for this.
When the Mathematics Center is established in the future, Tian Hong will definitely also be a very important person.
…
The trip to the capital was fruitful.
On the plane the next day, Wang Hao kept thinking about his gains.
The special prize in natural science is definitely the biggest reward, and there are still relevant reports everywhere in the public opinion.
Wang Hao still felt a little excited when he thought about winning the special prize. He won an unprecedented award, which was equivalent to the country's recognition of himself.
At the same time, there are also great gains in research and talents.
The talent is Tian Hong.
Bill Carr can only be counted as half, because he did not come to Xihai University and just participated in the project. However, for a Fields winner to participate in the project, it can be considered a great gain.
In addition, it is the harvest of research.
In fact, there was not much gain from discussing and researching with Bill Carr. They just exchanged their own ideas with each other, and even the inspiration value did not increase a little.
"This shows that the idea is still not in the right direction..."
Wang Hao thought a little regretfully.
He believes that the biggest gain is Qiu Chengwen's reminder.
Yang-Mills equation.
This was something he had never thought of before. He did not deliberately pursue solving the millennium mathematical problem, but just concentrated on his own research.
But as Qiu Chengwen said, the Yang-Mills equation cannot be bypassed. As long as you do microscopic research, it will definitely be related to the Yang-Mills equation.
The influence of the Yang-Mills equation is too great. Just in the basic direction of derivation of the equation, seven Nobel Prizes in Physics and six Fields winners have been born.
Yang-Mills theory is the basis for constructing the standard model of particles.
Among the top scholars who rely on the study of the Yang-Mills equation, the Belgian theoretical physicist François Engler is a very typical figure. He predicted the 'Higgs boson' by deriving the Yang-Mills equation.
The presence.
Afterwards, the European Particle Collider continued to invest nearly two billion US dollars and finally discovered the Higgs boson, known as the 'God particle'.
This also earned François Engler the Nobel Prize in Physics.
From this study, we can know how powerful the Yang-Mills equation is. Its greatest contribution is to integrate the strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force within a mathematical framework.
One of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium includes the problem of the Yang-Mills equation. The description of the problem is the existence of the equation and the mass gap problem.
This sentence sounds very complicated and cannot be understood by ordinary people.
In fact, a simple explanation will make it clear that the mass gap does not cover the entire mass. An atom includes the nucleus and electrons. The equation only covers the nucleus and does not cover the electrons.
Electrons also have mass.
This is the quality gap, or understood as a loophole in quality.
The Yang-Mills equation problem, to be simply understood, is to study and solve quality problems that are not covered by the equation.
If this problem can be solved, the basic theory of the standard model of particles can be said to be complete.
Not only can you solve mathematical problems, you can win the Fields Medal, but you can also win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Yang-Mills theory is the pinnacle of research, and it is also very difficult. Even ordinary mathematicians and quantum physicists will find it difficult to start.
Therefore, the number of scholars dedicated to the study of the Yang-Mills equation is very small, and even if they were to go higher, it is estimated that there would be no more than a hundred people.
Wang Hao did not want to solve the problem of Yang-Mills equation, but he hoped to combine the research of Yang-Mills equation to assist in studying the expression of annihilation force.
His main research is still on the mechanism of superconductivity.
In the direction of the mechanism of superconductivity, he has always focused on the microscopic morphology in the conductive state and the new geometry created.
But how are new geometries topological?
This is what the annihilation force does.
Therefore, conducting research from the perspective of annihilation force is also a good direction. Only by studying both directions together can the overall theory be improved.
To study the performance of the annihilation force, we cannot avoid quantum physics, and we must have a deep enough understanding of Yang-Mills theory.
Wang Hao thought about it and simply created a task--
【Task 1】
[Research Project Name: Research on Yang-Mills Theory (Difficulty: S+).]
[Inspiration value: 0.]
really!
Millennium mathematical conjectures are probably all S+ level!
…
When I returned to Xihai University, there was no need to talk about congratulations and celebrations.
The special prize in natural science is indeed very influential. Just as Luan Haiping said, "If you win this prize, your selection as an academician next year will be guaranteed."
"I said before that I had a high chance of being chosen, but now I can definitely choose!"
Luan Haiping said it with certainty.
The special prize in natural science is the greatest affirmation for a scholar, and it is even an unprecedented affirmation.
If you get an award of this level, even if you are only ten years old, you can be elected as an academician, and it will be approved by unanimous vote.
Domestic academicians are still different from foreign academicians.
Foreign academicians speak purely about academics, but domestically they are a little bit political. In terms of academic achievements, Wang Hao is already impeccable. Coupled with the major recognition of the award, there is no problem in selecting academicians.
Wang Hao was not worried about the issue of academician evaluation.
He even said that he didn't care much.
Many scholars select academicians to affirm themselves, or to obtain the honor of academician titles, and others do so to make it easier to apply for projects.
But whether it is honors or project applications, he has no relevant needs.
Now that he wants to be elected as an academician, it is just the icing on the cake for him. He is still more focused on his own research.
Unfortunately, the research on semi-topological construction problems has hit a bottleneck, and the time has entered the holidays, making it difficult to find inspiration.
Wang Hao also simply took a break and decided to have a relaxing Spring Festival.
This Spring Festival is different from usual. He did not return to his hometown, but his parents came to Xihai in advance.
The arrival of Wang Haiqing and Liu Min made Wang Hao's new residence a little more popular. He had hired a nanny to take care of it before, but he only stayed there occasionally. His parents lived at home, so he went back to live there every day.
When the holiday really came, Wang Hao also invited other friends over for a small gathering, which was considered a 'housewarming party'.
He invited many people, including several of his students, Li Xin, Xu Jie, Helen and Chen Mengmeng.
Zhang Xinyi, Ding Zhiqiang and Qiu Hui'an went home early and couldn't catch up.
In addition, there are several friends and colleagues, including several old professors from the School of Science, as well as Zhang Zhiqiang, Luo Dayong, Zhu Ping, Yan Jing, He Yi and others.
That day, the house in Guangxian Mansion became very lively.
Several students came together.
Xu Jie walked in the front. After entering the house, he walked around and marveled at the luxury of the house. When he stepped on the stairs, he also sighed, "When can I live in such a big house!"
Chen Mengmeng behind him made some statistics, "Based on your situation, if you join a company after graduation, your average annual salary will be around 300,000."
"Taking into account your personal consumption level and future marriage and family expenses, you can save an average of 100,000 yuan a year, and it will take a hundred years to save 10 million yuan."
"Taking into account your health and longevity, you can't work for a hundred years."
"So your wish cannot come true."
Xu Jie stopped at the top of the stairs, turned his head with a stiff face, and said with a depressed expression, "Hey, when did you start to imitate Helen?"
"You are confused!"
Chen Mengmeng rolled his eyes and said something.
Helen suddenly said, "Your calculation just now is wrong. I have studied the salaries of large companies in China. After Xu Jie graduates, he can enter a large company and engage in high-intensity, high-tech work. His annual salary may soon reach around 400,000.
."
Xu Jie winked at Chen Mengmeng proudly.
Helen continued, "However, he still needs to study for a master's degree for one year and a doctorate for three years or more. He will graduate at the age of 28 to 30. He will work for seven to ten years and is expected to earn two to four million.
"
"Then he will lose his job due to factors such as age and health, and can only work in low-income labor jobs."
"If he took out a loan to buy this house after saving enough for the down payment, then in the rest of his life it is very likely that the house will be foreclosed on because he cannot repay the loan..."
"Ahem!"
"No need to say anything else!" Xu Jie quickly stopped Helen. If he continued talking, he could imagine the dilemma of career bankruptcy that he would face after middle age.
At this time, Li Xin weakly raised his hand and said, "Actually, if you just want to live in this house, it's very simple."
"oh?"
Three people looked over at the same time.
Li Xin said, "You only need to tell Teacher Wang that you want to stay for one day, and he will definitely agree."
"Right."
"That makes sense."
"Xu Jie, your wish can easily come true."
the other side.
Wang Hao, Zhang Zhiqiang, He Yi, and several professors from the School of Science were sitting in the living room chatting.
Several people were busy in the kitchen, including Zhu Ping.
This time Wang Hao asked Zhu Ping to help organize the party. Zhu Ping is indeed a reliable person. She has a specific plan for the party, and even what to eat has been planned.
Some dishes need to be ordered from a restaurant, while others can be made at home.
Zhu Ping and Liu Min were always busy in the kitchen, occasionally sticking their heads out to ask Luo Dayong to do something.
"Dayong, come here and bring some food!"
"Dayong! Help me get something, just take it..."
"Dayong..."
Zhu Ping not only asked Luo Dayong to help, but her roar was so loud that it could be heard clearly in the living room.
Zhang Zhiqiang sat calmly, feeling sympathy for Luo Dayong. He whispered to Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, tell me, why did Luo Dayong fall in love with Zhu Ping, and how did the two of them get together?"
"I'm fine now. Look at Zhu Ping's voice. It's really unbearable!"
"Tigress!"
"You don't understand, this is called love." Wang Hao took a sip of tea and said gracefully.
Zhang Zhiqiang said proudly, "Our Yanzi is different. He is gentle and never lets me do anything."
Wang Hao heard this with suspicion, "Is it because you just got married? You haven't spent the honeymoon period yet?"
"She is that kind of gentle woman." Zhang Zhiqiang said, his face even lit up with happiness.
Wang Hao reluctantly agreed.
While the two were talking, they heard Zhu Ping shouting loudly, "Luo Dayong, go to my mother's house and help move two chairs!"
"Oh~~"
Luo Dayong replied weakly, and then walked out of the door.
Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned, "He's walking?"
"yes?"
"Why?"
Wang Hao said, "Zhu Ping's parents also live in this community, in the building opposite." He pointed out the window.
"Zhu Ping's parents? Live here?" Zhang Zhiqiang looked out the window.
"yes?"
Seeing Luo Dayong disappear around the corner, Zhang Zhiqiang took a deep breath, "Luo Dayong, you are so damn happy!"
