Li Mu nodded slightly, then he started to pack up his things, said goodbye, and left the classroom.
Richter and the others were puzzled by the last few words spoken by Wiles and Li Mu.
"Wiles, what did you mean by what you said to Li Mu last time? Why doesn't IMU give you face?"
Wiles smiled and said: "You should all know that Fields Medal winners will arrange a separate Fields Lecture, right?"
Several people nodded.
This is a special treatment for a Fields Medal winner. He can give a separate plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians for one hour.
At every International Congress of Mathematicians, Fields Medal winners are considered the protagonists at that conference, so their lectures can often attract many audiences.
At this time, Richter and the others also realized what Wiles meant.
Will the Fields Medal of this year's International Congress of Mathematicians be awarded to Li Mu?
"I think they have no reason not to award it to Li Mu."
Richter said.
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
In particular, if Li Mu really proved one of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium, the existence and smoothness of the solution to the Navier-Stokes equation, and Li Mu was not awarded the Fields Medal in the end, it would be embarrassing in the end. Probably the International Mathematical Union.
However, can Li Mu really complete the final proof in the next few months?
There is some hesitation in their minds about this issue.
After all, that's one of the Seven Millennium Problems.
And in terms of complexity, it is not low at all. After all, it is a partial differential equation!
…
Time passed quickly.
The moon changed from a round disk to a crescent moon, and then back to a round disk again, like a new moon.
Unknowingly, the time on the earth has also moved from March to April.
[Dear Mr. Li Mu, hello, according to the management regulations of the original report of the invited speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians, we need you to submit the original report to the conference organizing committee three months in advance to facilitate our staff to format it. Proofread and create a poster for your report.
The specific deadline is 00:00 GMT on April 15. Please submit your original report to the following website before this time: ...
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and I wish you everything you want at the International Congress of Mathematicians. 】
Looking at the email sent in the mailbox, Li Mu touched his chin.
Okay, the deadline is here and it must be sent.
Of course, although it has been so long since he found inspiration a month ago, he has not yet fully proved the existence and smoothness of the solution to the Navier-Stokes equation.
After all, this problem is never so simple that it can be completely solved with a few inspirations.
but……
Li Mu looked down at his scratch paper.
Above, we have almost reached the final step.
"Now, after I have improved the Boltzmann equation using number theory methods, the Lie space and the Boltzmann equation have a very high degree of fit."
"Even, to some extent, I have proved the existence and smoothness of solutions to Boltzmann's equation."
"The final problem now is to find the conditions that equate the two."
"Equal value...Equal value..."
His brows furrowed, "If it's harmonic analysis...it seems like we can try it?"
He picked up the pen and simply wrote a few formulas on the scratch paper. His eyes lit up. It seemed that it was really possible?
Just when he almost couldn't hold it back and was about to continue, "Hey, don't forget, you have to submit the first report first."
Today is April 13th, and GMT is the non-summer time in the UK, so there is only more than one day left.
Fortunately, he had already prepared the first report, which was the report about Li's Space.
After entering the website in his mailbox, he submitted the report.
The report is titled: "Internalization Space of External Force Sources".
As the name suggests, it is a mathematical space that can internalize the source of external forces into the nature of space.
With this space, it is enough to shock the mathematical world.
It’s not like Luo Space, which had no role or meaning when it was first born.
Lobachevsky space is Lobachevsky space, and Lobachevsky is the founder of non-Euclidean geometry. After he founded non-Euclidean geometry, he did not receive praise and praise from the academic community for a long time. Instead, what they got was all kinds of ridicule, slander, and even attacks.
Because according to the understanding of the academic circles at that time, Roche space had no meaning.
The Li space is different. In the current context, anyone who studies fluid mechanics will see at a glance that this new mathematical space is a huge help to the study of fluid mechanics.
Of course, such matters are left to the academic community to comment and have nothing to do with the current Li Mu.
After submitting this report, he continued to follow the thoughts he had just had on the harmonic analysis method and started the next calculation.
Time flies by again.
…
The organizing committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians generally publishes the original text of the report on the official website of the conference after receiving the report and checking it to confirm that it is correct.
This is also to facilitate those attending the meeting to find the reports they are interested in in advance, and then decide which report to attend at that time.
Of course, this is a convenience provided for 45-minute reports. After all, only 45-minute reports will be held multiple times at the same time.
However, by the way, it also allows people to see the content of the one-hour plenary report in advance, which can be regarded as a preview for the conference a few months later.
Therefore, after Li Mu's report was verified to be correct by the organizing committee of this International Society of Mathematicians, his report was also published on the official website.
As a one-hour speaker, and it was his report, a lot of people in the academic world paid attention to it.
Therefore, as soon as the original text of his report was released, it immediately became the most downloaded among all speakers.
Afterwards, the mathematics community was shocked by the original text of his report.
…
UCLA.
In Terence Tao's office.
"I heard that today the International Congress of Mathematicians announced the report articles of this year's invited speakers. Well... I have nothing to do anyway, so let's take a look first."
Terence Tao, who was sitting in front of the computer, was bored, so he logged into the official website of this International Congress of Mathematicians, intending to read some articles to pass the time.
After entering the web page, he looked for articles that interested him.
However, at first glance, his attention was attracted by a name.
"Li Mu's? Oh! Yes, Li Mu is the one-hour invited speaker at this International Congress of Mathematicians."
He, who was also rated as a genius, immediately became interested in Li Mu's report.
"The topic of his report is... the external force source internalizes the space? What does this mean?"
"Could it be...a new kind of space?"
Terence Tao downloaded the report out of curiosity, and then began to read it.
The content of the report is not long, even a little short, only a dozen pages.
But Terence Tao's eyes widened after just reading the first few pages.
"God! This space... this new space... is truly a work of genius!"
He couldn't help but marveled.
Just like when he first learned about Roche's space, he couldn't help but be amazed by Lobachevsky's wonderful thinking perspective.
Or it could be like Minkowski space, which is perfectly compatible with the theory of relativity.
But now, this space also allowed him to immediately see its significance for fluid research.
Of course, its most obvious role in helping the study of fluids is to make fluids more abstract, that is, geometric figures shaped like fluids.
All tangible things are geometry.
This space has great significance to geometry.
There is almost no time to read the following content, because Tao Zhexuan basically already knows what may be written later.
He loved sharing, so he immediately went to various forums. As a result, he saw that people were already discussing this brand new space.
For example, there are already several posts on mathoverflow.
So, he also opened a new post.
[A work of genius, a wonderful integrated space. The internalized space of external force sources is of great significance to the study of fluids and even all geometry. I can even conclude that this space can help the study of the Navier-Stokes equation! 】
