Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 1002 - 386 March

At the end of February, as the semester begins, the campus once again becomes lively.

Semester after semester, followed by summer and winter breaks, the towering teaching buildings on campus witness each cycle from quiet to lively.

During this time, the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute finally became a bit quieter.

After Qiao Ze and Xu Changshu each published a highly influential paper in the academic world last year, there has been little activity since.

It's not that there are no achievements to publish.

The accelerator theory deduced through pure mathematics is an explosive matter whether placed in the mathematical or physical sciences.

If it were the former Qiao Ze, he would have already been able to churn out several papers fit for top journals in this length of time.

In fact, Edward Witten also asked Qiao Ze whether to publish a few papers, even just a letter in top academic journals like "Science" or "Nature" to give high-energy physicists worldwide a boost.

But Qiao Ze directly vetoed it.

His exact words were that he wasn't interested in publishing a letter in such entertainment-type academic journals.

As for publishing an article, Qiao Ze felt there wasn't much necessity at the moment. It's not as if he's afraid that once the principle of this accelerator is exposed, other countries would first research small-scale particle accelerators.

In fact, without great execution power, strong AI cooperation, nearly comprehensive industrial capability, and a genius leader, aiming to miniaturize particle accelerators through a few formulas derived from mathematical theories is almost a fantasy.

This is just like how the principle of nuclear fission has long been an open secret, yet the number of countries possessing such weapons is limited.

To put it extremely, there are areas where technological miracles achieved decades ago cannot be replicated now. Not to mention relying on technology derived from entirely new theories.

Yes, the topic here is moon landing.

Purely from an engineering perspective, fifty years ago, they could send people and vehicles to the moon with near primitive control equipment; now, just a manned moon landing is a challenge, demonstrating the vast gap between theory and reality.

So not publishing papers is purely out of laziness.

After all, Qiao Ze has surpassed the phase of needing to prove himself by publishing papers or earning rewards.

The most crucial thing is that Qiao Ze believes the most important task for the three collaborating researchers is the research on the unified theory. Before achieving results in this area, Qiao Ze has no mood to publish papers.

This viewpoint is recognized by Peter Schultz, as this mathematician with a bright future in Germany has nearly given up everything to come to Xilin for unified theory research.

The difference in everyone's pursuit is merely that Peter Schultz wants not only the unified theory in physics but also aims to resolve mathematical unification problems with the help of top mathematicians.

For instance, in the process of proving the unification of four fundamental forces, establishing and proving the predicted correspondence between automorphic representations and Galois representations while at it.

Although the unified physical theory and the Langlands Program belong to two different realms, both pursue unification. In theory, the two fields seem unrelated, but mathematical tools and theoretical physics have a longstanding and complex interaction history.

The application of mathematical tools in physics can open a new door for physicists; guided by theoretical physics, mathematics might innovate as well, all while having historical evidence.

Such as Group Theory's core role in particle and field theory; for example, the formation of general relativity promoting the application of Riemannian geometry, and quantum mechanics fostering the advancement of operator theory, and so on...

From Peter Schultz's perspective, if Qiao Ze and Edward Schultz indeed achieve a groundbreaking success in the unified theory of physics, it will certainly uncover new mathematical structures or provide new insights into known mathematical structures.

These latest theories could in turn help him thoroughly resolve a series of challenges posed by the Langlands Program.

So Peter Schultz doesn't mind assisting Edward Witten with some algorithm design issues during the research process, but he opposes wasting effort on sorting out a series of papers for these trivial matters.

According to Edward Witten's home country's democratic voting principle, in the three-person research group, the 2-to-1 vote result meant Edward Witten lost.

In this aspect, the elder is quite magnanimous.

To be honest, none of them need short-term achievements to prove themselves.

Especially Edward Witten, who is a dual laureate of the Nobel and Fields Medal, and as for Peter Schultz, has nearly won every prize in the mathematical world. As for Qiao Ze, he is a freshly awarded double Nobel laureate of the same year, only he didn't attend the ceremony to receive the awards.

The result was that the Nobel Prize ceremony held last December was rather awkward, as none of the most prestigious physics and chemistry laureates attended the banquet. But in actuality, it didn't have much impact; the awards ceremony, normally broadcasted live every year, simply didn't have a live stream last year.

Even now, there are no circulating live broadcast images.

Although the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute is quiet, the academic world in March has been quite lively due to the Xi Lin Mathematical Research Institute.
