Ultimate Scholar

Time flies.

The entire month of November passed quietly.

The School of Physics is still applying for the construction of the building with the school, and even attracted the attention of other schools.

In particular, the School of Mathematics also started to quarrel. After all, Li Mu won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award as a proof of the hail conjecture. Are they building a building?

Of course, the idea of ​​the School of Mathematics was soon quarreled by the School of Physics. What building should the School of Mathematics build?

Mathematics research does not require a laboratory, a desk, paper and pen, a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and one formula to think about for a day.

But the School of Mathematics is definitely not so easy to fool, who doesn't want a new building?

As a result, Sun Zhaohai, as the principal, felt very uncomfortable. His ears were surrounded by the voices of these two colleges all day long, which made him have a lot of business trips and meetings recently-thirty-six strategies are the best strategy.

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 didn't bother him.

Because they all know that Li Mu has recently started to study some new subject.

As for what new topic it will be, they don't know, but they believe that at least it can make waves in the academic world again, right?

Of course, Li Mu believed that what he was researching could really shake the academic world.

However, you have to figure it out first.

Although he has inspiration, there are still many problems to be solved in the process of research, and the perturbation must be avoided first.

The standard model is constructed 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", so approximate description becomes the only Methods.

The perturbation expansion is to use a mathematical method to give an approximate solution, so that the coupling constant becomes smaller, so that physicists can predict various physical phenomena, and then verify it on the particle collider .

Therefore, perturbation expansion is a very good method.

But precisely because of this, perturbation unfolding also affects the birth of new methods.

The reason is simple, because habit is a terrible thing. Scholars in the field of physics have become accustomed to using perturbation expansion to solve the problems of the standard model, so let them go around the expansion and jump out of the frame to re-exploit the standard model. Discussion is very difficult.

But fortunately, Li Mu has a brain computer, which can help him get rid of all the stereotyped thinking about perturbation unfolding, enabling him to explore this issue with a brand-new thinking.

Gradually, Li Mu came across the key trick.

...

During this period of 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 simple, a prize of $5,000 and a certificate.

A prize of 5,000 US dollars is nothing to Li Mu today, and the most valuable thing is of course the honor represented by this award.

At the end of the award ceremony, Ganesh Donald, the chairman of AMS, announced happily: "This year is about to pass, and we are very fortunate that we can witness the birth of such a major achievement in the field of number theory this year, whether it is the proof of the Hail conjecture , or the complete solution of the twin prime number conjecture family, I believe this year will be a complete success for the entire mathematical community! Let us also thank Li Mu again, and look forward to him continuing to bring more surprises to our mathematical community in the coming year .”

With the applause of everyone, the awards ceremony came to an end.

The mathematics world this year has indeed been considered complete. Several major conjectures have been solved, and the K-module theory has been proposed. Probably in the last month, there should not be any mathematical theories comparable to these major achievements. .

The entire mathematical community thinks so.

However, is this year's math really complete?

It may be consummated, but in the end, it still depends on Li Mu.

After receiving the award, Li Mu returned to China without stopping.

Locking himself in the library again, he launched a final attack on the problem.

...

The time came to the end of December.

In a few days, 2020 will end.

However, in a corner of the Jiaotong University library, Li Mu's pen stopped on the last draft paper.

He straightened his back and let out a long breath.

"Finally finished……"

"The idea of ​​renormalization can be used to solve the non-perturbative definition problem, and similarly, it can also be used to solve the expansion problem of the standard model."

"And the facts have proven that to be the case."

Picking up the draft paper in his hand, Li Mu went through it carefully until finally, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Just call it...Lee's unfolding?"

In order to study the properties of complex functions, various expansions are formed, whether it is Taylor expansion or Fourier expansion.

And Li's expansion will be able to perfectly replace the use of perturbation expansion in the standard model.

Under the Lie expansion, the standard model becomes more accurate, and when n approaches infinity, the standard model under the Lie expansion will converge without 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."

And the original problem was the neutral companion particle, and the W boson mass problem he encountered later.

His calculations are fast, of course, because he is familiar enough with the Lie expansion of the Standard Model. Very simply, he found the answer to the neutral adjoint particle.

"It really is a problem with the previous theory!"

Under the inference of the new model, if we want to discover the neutral adjoint particles of Zcs(3985)+, we need to redesign the experimental method and change the statistical method of the experimental data, otherwise, the neutral adjoint 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 found proton decay in experiments.

Perhaps using Li's expanded standard model, we can find the reason?

However, Li Mu did not try it, because after solving the problem of the neutral adjoint particle, he immediately started to study the problem of the W boson.

However, when the result was calculated by him, he fell into shock.

"The standard model's calculation of the mass of the W boson in the past...was wrong?!"

In the newly expanded Standard Model, the W boson has a slightly heavier mass!

Li Mu has enough confidence in his model.

Therefore, there is only one thought in his mind, the building of physics is about to collapse again?
