The peer review is a doing a thankless job work. 同行评审是一件吃力不讨好的工作。 First, this work does not have the reward, or the reward of appraisal usually to cash in the way that money has nothing to do with, for example the Journal acknowledgment, gain Journal and discount wait of page layout fee/spent in editorial department the position of free. 首先,这份工作是没有报酬的,或者说评审者的报酬通常是以与金钱无关的方式兑现,比如期刊致谢、在编辑部的职位、免费获取期刊、版面费的折扣等等。 Next, to a work understanding limited situation, wants to penetrate into this domain in judges research results is whether correct, itself is a quite not easy matter. 其次,在对一项工作了解有限的情况下,想要深入到这一领域中去评判一项研究成果是否正确,本身便是一件相当不容易的事情。 If not the important proposition, but probably the existence world-class difficult problem of Yang Mills soluation of equation, the difficulty or the importance do not allow the least bit to be careless, even each line of processes in paper must spend taster lots of precious time repeatedly to deliberate. 如果不是什么重要的命题也就罢了,但像是杨米尔斯方程解的存在性这种世界级的难题,无论是难度还是重要性都不容半点马虎,甚至于论文中的每一行过程都得花费审稿员大量宝贵的时间去反复推敲。 Many people receive this work, besides in order to mixes „academic qualifications that” a syndic enrolls on well-known Journal, more stemming from as the social responsibilities of scholar as well as holds the post of the sense of mission of scientific research goalkeeper merely. 很多人之所以接下这份工作,除了为了能在知名期刊上混一个评审员挂名的“学术资历”之外,更多的仅仅是出于身为学者的社会责任感以及担任科研守门员的使命感。 Regarding an established scholar, Professor Fefferman accepted the motive of this edit invitation to belong to the latter probably. However after he attains this paper, these all immaterial things, were all thrown by him in one side. 对于一名早已功成名就的学者而言,费弗曼教授接受这份审稿邀请的动机大概属于后者。不过当他拿到这篇论文之后,这些所有无关紧要的东西,就全都被他抛在了一边。 From the first line of mathematical formulas, the calculation process of that cloud running water is similar to contains a mysterious charm, firmly attracted his attention. 从第一行算式开始,那云流水的演算过程就如同蕴藏着一种神奇的魔力,牢牢地抓住了他的眼球。 Especially in the paper regarding partial differential equation the understanding of differential Geometry thought that and application about l manifold, is ingenious to the degree that made him hardly be able to believe. 尤其是论文中对于偏微分方程的微分几何思想的理解,以及关于l流形的应用,更是巧妙到了让他几乎不敢相信的程度。 He is unable to believe, one from the birth until now was about two years of young theory, can in this short two years, developed the so mature situation. 他怎么也无法相信,一个从诞生到如今不过两年的年轻理论,能够在这短短两年的时间里,发展到如此成熟的地步。 „...... Simply inconceivable.” “……简直不可思议。” Used for probably 15 minutes crossed main text p. 1, Professor Fefferman could not bear in the heart sighs with emotion. 用了大概十五分钟的时间才翻过了正文的第一页,费弗曼教授忍不住在心中感慨。 If matter that because previously the vacation malingered, his many were a little regrettable. 如果说先前因为假期泡汤的事情,他多少还是有点遗憾。 However at this moment, in his heart was the least bit regret does not have. 然而此时此刻,他的心中却是半点遗憾也没有了。 The time in office calmly is passing, the weather of out of the window also followed to fade out gradually. 办公室内的时间静静地流逝着,窗外的天色也跟着渐渐暗了下来。 Sits before another desk, finally completed final solution Wei Wen long to exhale, stretches oneself happy. 坐在另一张办公桌前,终于完成了最后求解的魏文长出了一口气,心情舒畅地伸了个懒腰。 Is preparing to stand up, goes to downstairs cafeteria to have a dinner the time in him, is actually notices to sit Professor Fefferman before not far away desk, when is maintaining afternoon movement as before, stares at the paper in hand steadily, the fountain pen in hand writes anything on the scratch paper once for a while. 就在他正准备站起身来,去楼下的食堂吃个晚饭的时候,却是注意到坐在不远处办公桌前的费弗曼教授,依旧是维持着下午时的动作,目不转睛地盯着手中的论文,手中的钢笔时不时在草稿纸上写着些什么。 Hesitant, finally cannot support the curiosity in heart, Wei Wen opens the mouth to ask. 犹豫了一下,最终还是架不住心中的好奇,魏文开口问道。 „Professor land did he...... prove?” “陆教授他……证出来了吗？” Heard this inquiry, pinches the fountain pen in hand in Professor Fefferman, finally stopped. 听到了这声询问,捏在费弗曼教授手中的钢笔,终于停了下来。 Placed on the paper the table, he carries already cold drop the coffee, sipped one gently, crossed some little time, opened the mouth to say looking pensive. 将论文放在了桌上,他端起已经冷掉的咖啡,轻轻抿了一口,过了好一会儿,才若有所思地开口道。 „Depending on my opinion, is not only able to make the careless resolution to such important matter......” “只凭我一个人的意见,无法对如此重要的事情做出草率的决断……” Read paper on the table again, Professor Fefferman , to continue to say. 再次看了眼桌上的论文,费弗曼教授顿了顿,继续说道。 „If only discussed that my viewpoint, he achieved probably.” “不过若是只谈我个人的观点,那他大概是做到了。” ...... …… After completing „proof of existence about Yang Mills soluation of equation” paper, Lu Zhou will then write the content on scratch paper reorganizes in the computer, after edited one simply next, mailed out the mailbox of «Math Yearly journal» editorial department. 在完成了“关于杨米尔斯方程解的存在性证明”的论文之后,陆舟便将写在草稿纸上的内容整理到了电脑中,简单地编辑了一下之后投寄到了《数学年刊》编辑部的邮箱。 Almost does not have any suspense, the paper adopted the verification of technical editor quickly, entered the peer review link. 几乎没有任何的悬念,论文很快通过了技术编辑的审核,进入了同行评审环节。 Who as for the appraisal person is, before discussing the Wendeng publication, Lu Zhou does not know. 至于评审人是谁,在论文登刊之前,陆舟并不知道。 However, this matter is unimportant. 不过,这种事情根本不重要。 In reorganizing before computer on, he will have shown the step has inspected from beginning to end. He has over 90% assurances to be certain, oneself proof is correct. No matter how the reviewer sees, this issue to him, could be the solution. 在整理到电脑上之前,他已经将证明步骤从头到尾检查过一遍。他有九成以上的把握可以肯定,自己的证明是正确的。不管审稿人怎么看,这个问题对他自己而言,已经可以算是解决了。 After the confirmation paper enters the peer review link, Lu Zhou has not then gone to manage it again, then started the research of next stage. 确认论文进入同行评审环节之后,陆舟便没有再去管它,转而开始了下一阶段的研究。 In fact, proved the existence that solution leads to the first step of Yang Mills equation modern Physics chalice merely, is far from part that touches issue most core. At least, before studying the Mass Gap issue, he must extract General solution for this complex equation. 事实上,证明解的存在性仅仅只是通往杨米尔斯方程这座现代物理学圣杯的第一步,远远没有触及到问题最核心的部分。至少,在研究质量间隙的问题之前,他还得为这个复杂的方程求出一个通解。 from the perspective of math, compared with proving General solution exists, extracts the General solution difficulty to be larger without doubt. At least the light is gnaws the ns equation the words of initial capital, but also really not necessarily enough. 从数学的角度来讲,比起证明通解存在而言,求出通解的难度无疑要大的多。至少光是啃ns方程的老本的话,还真不一定够。 In brief, before finding to solve the problem the mentality, Lu Zhou sharply has not been starting closing up of next round immediately. For serveral days, can he has retrieved others on arxiv in the research of this/should domain, look obtain some inspirations from the research work of others. 总之,在找到解决问题的思路之前,陆舟没有急着立刻开始下一轮的闭关。这些天来,他一直都在arxiv上检索其它人在该领域的研究,看看能不能从其他人的研究工作中得到一些灵感。 However, finally is not it is a pity that ideal. 然而遗憾的是,结果并不理想。 Although Yang Mills equation the position in modern gauge theory is important enough, but few people will actually study this non-linear partial derivative formula General solution to take oneself research direction. although m also has some interesting achievement, but these achievements have often not penetrated into the domain of core. 杨米尔斯方程虽然在现代规范场论中的位置足够重要,但却很少有人将研究这个非线性偏微分方程的通解作为自己的研究方向。m虽然也有一些很有意思的成果,但这些成果往往都没有深入到核心的领域中。 But this also means that part of work, he can depend upon similarly only then...... 而这也意味着,这一部分的工作,他能依靠的同样只有自己了…… Last Wednesday of April, finished attending after the curriculum that calculates material science, the arm clamped textbook Lu Zhou to leave the classroom. 四月的最后一个星期三,上完了计算材料学的课程之后,胳膊夹着课本的陆舟走出了教室。 However in him is thinking deeply about the issue about Yang Mills equation, when walks in the direction of stairway, a middle-aged professor shouted the sound his name, while slightly ran to pursue from behind. 然而就在他一边思索着关于杨米尔斯方程的问题,一边往楼梯口的方向走去时,一位中年教授一边喊了声他的名字,一边小跑着从后面追了上来。 „Please wait, Professor land.” “请等一下,陆教授。” The corridor outside lecture amphitheater stands firm, Lu Zhou turned around to look at the eye to stop by calling out own that person, threw the line of sight of doubts to him. 在阶梯教室外的走廊站定,陆舟转身看了眼叫住自己的那人,向他投去了疑惑的视线。 „Are you?” “你是？” Breathed heavily two tones, that middle-aged professor smiles: „I am open celebrate, that side thing institute...... in the previous physical class, we have seen.” 喘了两口气,那中年教授笑了笑说:“我是张中庆,物院那边的……上次物理课上,我们见过。” „,” Also has the impression to this name, Lu Zhou thinks immediately who he is, therefore the benign say/way, „is Professor stretch/open, what matter has?” “哦哦,”对这个名字还算是有印象,陆舟立刻想起来他是谁,于是和颜悦色道,“是张教授啊,有什么事情吗？” Sees Lu Zhou still to remember itself unexpectedly, opens celebrates smiles embarrassed, says: „Is this, didn't previous time you give us the students in thing institute to get up one class about strong interaction? Many students responded, said cannot hear your class to think was a pity very much. Happen to quantum mechanics is the undergraduate course educates the difficulty, the words that wants to learn need certain mathematical foundation of basic skills especially, the leader in our institute after knowing situation, makes me ask you, looked that you recently did have the time? If there is, we want to ask you to have course about quantum mechanics.” 见陆舟居然还记得自己,张中庆不好意思笑了笑,开口说道:“是这样的,上次您不是给我们物院的学生们上了一趟关于强相互作用的课吗？很多学生反应,说没能听到您的那堂课觉得很可惜。正好量子力学这块又是本科教育中的难点,想学好的话尤其需要一定的数学功底,我们院的领导在了解了情况之后,就让我来问问您,看您最近有没有时间？如果有的,我们想请您开个关于量子力学的讲座。” „On this matter, without the issue,” Lu Zhou smiles, „that on this week Saturday?” “就这事儿啊,没问题,”陆舟笑了笑说,“那就这个星期的周六？” Saw Lu Zhou to comply, opened celebrate Lianmang saying: „Does not have the issue! The chief said that in the time looked your anything has free time, us is when good. That this matter settled that I first scholars for thing institute thanked Professor land.” 见陆舟答应了下来,张中庆连忙笑着说:“没问题！院长说了,时间上还是看您什么是有空,我们这边是什么时候都行。那这事儿就这么说定咯,我先替物院的学子们谢谢陆教授了。” Lu Zhou: „So should not be polite, I very like giving the students to teach.” 陆舟:“别这么客气,我还是挺喜欢给学生们讲课的。” Although attended class to the undergraduate student cannot help him directly solve what problem, but while considers the foundational issue, the inspiration of actually when can bring closes up cannot have to him. 虽然给本科生上课并不能帮助他直接解决什么问题,但在对基础性的问题进行思考的同时,却能给他带来闭关时所不能产生的灵感。 stretch/open Zhongqing said: „Polite polite, after all your research work is so busy, but must find the time to give the undergraduate students to attend class. Such troublesome you, we are also very embarrassed” 张中庆笑着说:“客气还是得客气一下的,毕竟您的研究工作这么忙,还得抽出时间来给本科生们上课。这么麻烦您,我们也挺不好意思” „Lu Zhou!” “陆舟！” The words just now tell only half, the loud and clear voice is away from together far away, transmits from one of the corridor. 话才刚说到一半,一道洪亮的嗓门儿隔着老远,从走廊的一头传来过来。 Hears this sound, two people stopped the thread of conversation as if by prior agreement, seeks the direction that sound is conveying to look, sees only puts on Academician Lu of grey coat, is walking walk as if flying to here. 听到这声音,两个人不约而同地打住了话头,寻着那声音传来的方向看去,只见穿着身灰外套的卢院士,正健步如飞地向这边走来。 Looks surprisedly toward Academician Lu who oneself walk, Lu Zhou is preparing to greet, has not actually opened the mouth with enough time, then nearby listens to arrive at an old person face to say excitedly. 惊讶地看着向自己走来的卢院士,陆舟正准备打声招呼,却是还没来得及开口,便听走到跟前的老人一脸激动地说道。 „Is that paper you writes?” “那篇论文是你写的？” Heard these words, Lu Zhou gawked subconsciously under. 听到这句话,陆舟下意识地愣了下。 „...... Which paper?” “……哪篇论文？” Air/Qi does not breathe heavily, Academician Lu said agitatedly: „The proof of existence of Yang Mills soluation of equation!” 连气也不喘一口,卢院士语气激动道:“杨米尔斯方程解的存在性证明！” Hears these words, opens to celebrate almost by own spit not choking. 听到这句话,张中庆差点没被自己的吐沫给呛到。 Yang Mills equation?! 杨米尔斯方程？！ F*ck! 握草！
