Time flies.
The whole month of November passed quietly.
The School of Physics is still applying to build a building with the school, and it has even attracted the attention of other colleges.
In particular, the School of Mathematics also started to quarrel. After all, Li Mu’s project that won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award was the proof of the Hail Conjecture. This is something in mathematics. In addition, Li Mu is also from their School of Mathematics, so he has to give it anyway. Are they building a building?
Of course, the idea of the School of Mathematics was quickly pushed back by the School of Physics. What kind of building should be built in the School of Mathematics?
Mathematics research does not require a laboratory. You need paper and pens, a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a formula to think about for a day in front of a desk.
But the School of Mathematics is definitely not that easy to fool. Who doesn’t want a new building?
As a result, Sun Zhaohai, as the principal, felt uncomfortable. He was surrounded by the voices of these two colleges all day long, which made him travel a lot for meetings recently - the thirty-sixth strategy is the best.
Li Mu didn't care about this matter at all. Whether it was the School of Physics or the School of Mathematics, they had a tacit understanding and did not bother him.
Because they all know that Li Mu has recently started to study a new topic.
As for what new topic it will be, they don't know, but they believe that it can at least make waves in the academic world again, right?
Of course, Li Mu believes that what he is studying can indeed shock the academic world.
However, it has to be done first before talking about it.
Although he had inspiration, there were still many problems to be solved during the research process. First, he had to avoid perturbations.
The Standard Model is built based on quantum field theory, and one of the characteristics of quantum field theory is "approximation". Because physicists cannot give an accurate description of any specific "quantum", approximate description becomes the only Methods.
Perturbation expansion uses mathematical methods to give an approximate solution, making the coupling constant smaller, allowing physicists to predict various physical phenomena and then verify it on a particle collider. .
Therefore, perturbation expansion is a very good method.
But precisely for this reason, perturbation expansion also affects the birth of new methods.
The reason is simple, because habits are a terrible thing. Scholars in the physics community are already accustomed to using perturbation expansion to solve the problems of the Standard Model, so let them bypass the perturbation expansion and jump out of the frame to re-examine the Standard Model. It is very difficult to discuss.
But fortunately, Li Mu has a brain computer. The brain computer can help him get rid of all stereotyped thinking about perturbation expansion, allowing him to explore this issue with a brand-new way of thinking.
Gradually, Li Mu came across the key secret.
…
During this time, Li Mu also took a trip to the United States to receive the Cole Prize in Number Theory.
The prize for the Cole Prize in Number Theory is very simple, a cash prize of US$5,000 and a certificate.
A bonus of US$5,000 is nothing to Li Mu today, but the most valuable thing is of course the honor represented by this award.
At the end of the award ceremony, AMS Chairman Garnes Donald happily announced: "This year is coming to an end, and we are very fortunate that we can witness the birth of such major results in the field of number theory this year, whether it is the proof of the Hail Conjecture, This is the complete solution to the twin prime conjecture family. I believe this year will be a complete success for the entire mathematical community! Let us thank Li Mu again and look forward to him continuing to bring more surprises to our mathematical community in the coming year. "
Under the applause of everyone, the award ceremony ended.
This year's mathematics world has indeed come to a complete conclusion. Several major conjectures have been solved, as well as the K-module theory has been proposed. Probably in the last month, there will probably be no other mathematical theory that can rival these major achievements. .
The entire mathematical community thinks so.
However, is mathematics really perfect this year?
It may be successful, but in the end, it still depends on Li Mu.
After receiving the award, Li Mu returned to China without stopping.
He locked himself in the library again and launched a final attack on the problem.
…
The time came to the end of December.
In a few days, 2020 will be over.
However, in a corner of the Jiaotong University library, Li Mu's pen stopped on the last piece of draft paper.
He straightened his back and exhaled a long breath.
"Finally finished……"
"The idea of renormalization can be used to solve the problem of non-perturbative definition. Similarly, it can also be used to solve the problem of expansion of the standard model."
"And the facts have proven so."
Picking up the draft paper in his hand, Li Mu looked through it carefully until finally, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Let's just call it...Li's expansion, right?"
In order to study the properties of complex functions, various expansions are formed, whether it is Taylor expansion or Fourier expansion.
Li's expansion will perfectly replace the use of perturbation expansion in the standard model.
Under Lie's expansion, the Standard Model becomes more accurate, and when n approaches infinity, the Standard Model under Lie's expansion will converge instead of diverging, which will greatly help theoretical physicists Precision in problem solving.
"Then, next, we can use this new standard model expansion to deal with the original problem."
The original problem was the neutral adjoint state particle and the mass problem of the W boson that he later encountered.
His calculations were very fast, of course because he was familiar enough with the Lie expansion of the Standard Model. Very simply, he found the answer to the neutral adjoint state particle.
"Sure enough, it's a problem with the previous theory!"
Under the new model inference, if you want to discover the neutral adjoint state particles of Zcs(3985)+, you need to redesign the experimental method and change the statistical method of experimental data. Otherwise, the neutral adjoint state particles will be like " Like "hide and seek", don't let them find out.
Just like proton decay.
Proton decay has been predicted in many theoretical models, but until now, the particle physics community has never discovered proton decay in experiments.
Perhaps the reason can be found using Li's expanded standard model?
However, Li Mu did not try it, because after solving the problem of neutral adjoint particles, he immediately started studying the problem of W bosons.
However, when the result was calculated by him, he fell into shock.
"The standard model's mass calculation of the W boson in the past...was wrong?!"
In the newly expanded Standard Model, the W boson is heavier!
Li Mu has enough confidence in his model.
Therefore, he only had one thought in his mind. Is the building of physics about to collapse again?
