Oxford University lecture hall. 牛津大学报告厅。 Under the stage is bustling and filled with people, full house. 台下人头攒动,座无虚席。 Sits or is exchanging at the session scholar low voice, or glances through to begin and public lecture summary...... 坐在席间的学者或小声地交流着,或翻阅着手以及报告会纪要…… These chaotic noisy sounds, as if an exquisite music, listens in the ear of Professor Brian Caro so delightful. A half hour, he will then become in this century one of the greatest mathematical Physics, is the building of Yang Mills equation millennium difficult problem covers the last stone brick, and shares 1 million dollars...... at least 1/3 parts. 那些纷乱嘈杂的声音,仿佛一支优美的乐曲,听在布莱恩・卡罗教授的耳中是如此的悦耳。还有半个小时,他便会成为本世纪最伟大的数学物理学家之一,为杨米尔斯方程千禧难题的大厦盖上最后一块石砖,并分享一百万美金……至少三分之一的部分。 Regarding being scholar of theoretical worker, this bonus already quite not poor. 对于做理论工作的学者而言,这笔奖金已经相当不菲了。 Naturally, he solves this problem the motive is not what bonus, looks to bring in money at least in him with the honor is supplementary. 当然,他解决这个问题的动机也并非是什么奖金,至少在他看来钱和荣誉都是附带品。 How can I say? 怎么说呢？ Promotes the civilization to forward with own both hands, itself is a joyful matter. 用自己的双手推动文明向前,本身便是一件令人愉悦的事情。 Also remains for 15 minutes from the public lecture, the scholars have basically arrived, has not appeared will not come probably. Stood turned on the isolation strip in the lecture hall entrance security, started to put selectively waits invitation as well as abundant the scholar admission to audit after the lecture hall, has not attained the master and doctor. 距离报告会还剩十五分钟,与会学者基本已经到场,还没有出现的大概也不会来了。站在报告厅门口的保安打开了隔离带,开始有选择地放一些等候在报告厅外、没有拿到邀请函的硕士、博士以及博后学者入场旁听。 Stands on the conference site corridor, put on a Professor Brian of black formal dress to look at a watch, then threw the line of sight to the direction of conference site, in the eye floated off a disappointment. 站在会场旁边的走廊上,穿着一身黑色正装的布莱恩教授看了眼手表,接着向会场的方向投去了视线,眼中不由浮起了一丝失望。 At this time, put on the black western-style clothes and neckband to hit the waiter of bow tie to walk. 这时候,一位穿着黑色西服、领口打着领结的侍者走了过来。 In the heart moves, Professor Brian looks immediately to that waiter, opens the mouth to ask. 心中一动,布莱恩教授立刻看向那位侍者,开口问道。 „Professor land?” “陆教授来了吗？” That reception gawked slightly, immediately shakes the head saying: „No.” 那接待微微愣了下,随即摇头道:“没有。” Heard that Lu Zhou has not come, Professor Brian in eye disappointed was stronger. 听说陆舟没来,布莱恩教授眼中的失望更浓烈了。 However, that is all. 不过,也仅此而已。 Although Professor land has not appeared here is a regrettable matter, but listened to the big cow of this public lecture not to calculate few. No matter Professor land whether favors his research, his public lecture will conduct as always. 虽然陆教授没有出现在这里是件遗憾的事情,但来听这场报告会的大牛也不算少了。不管陆教授是否看好他的研究,他的报告会都会一如既往地进行。 15 minutes pass by, the public lecture formally starts. 十五分钟过去,报告会正式开始。 Arrived on the stage, Brian demonstrated on the theater curtain oneself ppt, starts from discussing the digest important place part, is in high spirits elaborated that since study the Mass Gap issue the mentality, as well as when some methods of the proof using. 走到了台上,布莱恩在幕布上展示了自己的ppt,开始从论文摘要地部分,神采飞扬地阐述起自己研究质量间隙问题的思路,以及在证明时用到的一些方法。 Sits under the stage, the Luo Wenxuan deep breath the one breath, spread out on the knee the notebook. 坐在台下,罗文轩深呼吸了一口气,将笔记本在膝盖上摊开。 Above is displaying him when several issues that studying Yang Mills equation, and paper of Professor Brian discovers, if these issues can be explained at the public lecture, naturally is best. If cannot, he inquire the link to point out. 上面罗列着他在研究杨米尔斯方程、以及布莱恩教授的论文时发现的几个问题,如果这些问题能够在报告会中得到解答,自然是最好的。如果不能的话,他会在提问环节指出。 Another side, Peter Goddard and Edward Witten from Princeton sit together. 另一边,来自普林斯顿的彼得・戈达德和爱德华・威滕坐在一起。 Two people are the mathematical physics domain big cows, moreover is mainly engaged is the string discusses the research in aspect. After hearing that Professor Brian of this Oxford University declared solved the Mass Gap problem, happen to fits in easily in two people of cern visit immediately, takes the airplane to go to Britain. 两人都是数学物理领域的大牛,而且主要从事的都是弦论方面的研究。当听说这位牛津大学的布莱恩教授宣称解决了质量间隙问题之后,正好在cern访问的两人立刻一拍即合,乘坐飞机来到了英国这边。 Is listening to the stage narration of Professor Brian, Dean Goddard somewhat regretted suddenly sighed. 听着台上布莱恩教授的讲述,戈达德院长忽然有些惋惜地叹了口气。 „If Professor land were here good.” “如果陆教授在这里就好了。” Chief as Institute for Advanced Study, initially when Lu Zhou submitted the resignation letter to him, he tried to keep hold of the scholar who this has had boundless prospects, but was a pity very much finally has not succeeded. Many time recalled that this matter, he will feel unavoidably somewhat regrettably. 身为普林斯顿高等研究院的院长,当初在陆舟向他递交辞呈的时候,他试着挽留过这位前途无量的学者,但很可惜最终并没有成功。无论是多少次回想起这件事儿,他都难免会感到有些遗憾。 „He also has his difficulty,” Witten turned upwards the leg with a smile, put the notebook on the knee, „no matter, moreover he here, me does not believe that was this/should domain expert, regardless of he will not miss this public lecture at the scene.” “他也有他的难处,”威滕笑着翘起了腿,将笔记本搁在了膝盖上,“而且不管他在不在这里,我相信身为该领域的专家,无论在不在现场他都不会错过这场报告会。” Goddard: „How do you feel the paper of Professor Brian?” 戈达德:“你觉得布莱恩教授的论文如何？” Witten thinks a while said: „I need to consider some time, after all from emitting the pre- printed book he had revised at least ten times to the present, one week ago I see the final official version. What is regarded as positive is his proof line has the praiseworthy place, but I always felt where is not a little right. If «Math Physics» plans to invite me as the reviewer, at the appointed time I will write my view in the edit opinion...... you feel?” 威滕想了一会儿说道:“我需要一段时间考虑,毕竟从放出预印本到现在他已经修改了至少十次,直到一个星期前我才看到最终的正式版。值得肯定的是他的证明思路有值得称赞的地方,但我总感觉哪里有点不对劲。如果《数学物理》打算邀请我作为审稿人的话,届时我会将我的看法写在审稿意见中……你觉得呢？” Before the public lecture starts, Professor Brian has openly expressed that paper contribution of final finalization in «Math Physics» on. If as expected, regarding this important topic, " Math Physics » that side will at least organize over five people syndicates to conduct the strictest verification to the paper. 在报告会开始之前,布莱恩教授已经公开表示过,会将最终定稿的论文投稿在《数学物理》上。如果不出意外的话,对于这种重大命题,《数学物理》那边至少会组织五人以上的评审团对论文进行最严格审核。 As top mathematical Physics who obtaining Fields has rewarded, «Math Physics» will not leave out his Witten's name obviously. 身为获得过菲尔茨奖的顶尖数学物理学者,《数学物理》显然不会漏掉他威滕的名字。 Naturally, sits in his nearby Peter Goddard , is the same. 当然,坐在他旁边的彼得・戈达德,也是一样。 Regarding issue that Professor Witten throws, Dean Goddard silent a while, says. 对于威滕教授抛过来的问题,戈达德院长沉默了一会儿,开口说道。 „I and your feeling is similar, his certificate possible existing defect...... . Moreover, I have other view regarding this issue?” “我和你的感觉类似,他的证明可能存在缺陷……而且,对于这个问题我有另外的看法？” Witten lifted under the eyebrow: „?” 威滕抬了下眉毛:“哦？” Goddard selected four points with the ball pen in the notebook, drew two lines conveniently: „The four-dimensional gauge theory of taking su as well as sp as the standard group, possibly equally in the string theory of taking 1 / n as the string coupling constant...... if so, Mass Gap or the quark confinement phenomenon can obtain the perfect explanation.” 戈达德用圆珠笔在笔记本上点了四个点,随手画下了两条线:“一个以su以及sp为规范群的四维规范场论,可能会等价于一个以1/n为弦耦合常数的弦理论……如果是这样的话,无论是质量间隙还是夸克禁闭现象都可以得到完美的解释。” Witten was interested to lift the eyebrow: „From angle Move out of string theory?” 威滕感兴趣地抬了抬眉毛:“从弦理论的角度出发？” Goddard looks askance to look to him, selected under: „.” 戈达德侧目看向他,点了下头:“正是。” Witten said: „Your viewpoint successfully aroused my interest, perhaps a while and other public lectures ended, we can go to nearby cafe to drink one cup together.” 威滕笑着说:“你的观点成功引起了我的兴趣,也许一会儿等报告会结束了,我们可以一起去附近的咖啡厅喝一杯。” Goddard said: „haha, if you invited me.” 戈达德笑着说:“哈哈,如果你请我的话。” When exchanging this new proof line, two people feel nothing, they have not had any hope to this public lecture from the bottom of the heart. 在交流着这条新的证明思路时,两人浑然不觉,打心底里他们已经对这场报告会不抱任何希望了。 Two hours passes, the public lecture was close to the end. 两个小时的时间过去,报告会进入了尾声。 As Professor Brian completed the last page of elaborations, in the lecture hall broke out the applause, but the entire public lecture also entered to inquire the link. 随着布莱恩教授完成了最后一页的阐述,报告厅内响起了掌声,而整场报告会也进入到了提问环节。 Because prepared sufficient before, regarding the stage leaving class inquiry, Professor Brian 11 answered. 因为之前做好了充足的准备,对于台下学者的提问,布莱恩教授都一一作出了回答。 Quick, in the lecture hall no one has raised hand. 很快,报告厅内已经没有人举手。 When Professor Brian planned that announced the public lecture ended, suddenly a hand extended. 就在布莱恩教授打算宣布报告会结束的时候,忽然一只手伸了起来。 „Waits for.” “等一下。” The right hand looks toward in the crowd that is only setting up alone, Professor Brian knits the brows slightly, but quick then stretched the brow, said benignly. 朝着人群中那只孤零零立着的右手看去,布莱恩教授微微皱眉,不过很快便舒展了眉头,和颜悦色地说道。 „What matter?” “什么事情？” The deep breath the one breath, notebook of Luo Wenxuan about in beginning, stood up. 深呼吸了一口气,罗文轩合上了手中的笔记本,站起身来。 Sits in another side of lecture hall, looks that person that stands up, on Witten's face appeared immediately wiped surprisedly. 坐在报告厅的另一侧,看着站起身来的那人,威滕的脸上顿时浮现了一抹惊讶。 Noticed this surprised expression, Goddard threw the line of sight of inquiry to him: „Did you know?” 注意到了这惊讶的表情,戈达德向他投去了询问的视线:“你认识？” Stared at standing up Luo Wenxuan interestingly, Witten is smiling: „Naturally, he is my student.” 饶有兴趣地盯着站起身来的罗文轩,威滕笑了笑说:“当然,他可是我的学生。” Although the experience of attendance public lecture has had more than 20 times, but was staring by so many well-known scholars, Luo Wenxuan felt a big pressure. 虽然出席报告会的经验已经有过不下二十次了,但被这么多知名学者盯着,罗文轩还是感到了不小的压力。 Was been tranquil by oneself, looks at Professor Brian on stage, he says. 让自己平静下来,看着台上的布莱恩教授,他开口说道。 „I have the question.” “我有疑问。” Brian: „Please say.” 布莱恩:“请讲。” Luo Wenxuan: „P. 11 15 lines, I noticed you to use in the paper defined the standard invariable action in anchor ring E time and space the method...... right?” 罗文轩:“第11页15行,我注意到您在论文中采用了在环面e时空中定义规范不变作用量的方法……对吗？” Brian lifted the chin: „Naturally, if we planned that from the standardization of grid point discussed this issue, these step is important to the entire discussion process.” 布莱恩抬了抬下巴:“当然,如果我们打算从格点的正规化讨论这个问题,这一步对整个论证过程是至关重要的。” „Just as you said that these step is important, was......” the Luo Wenxuan deep breath the one breath, continued saying that „how, but you planned to show that the grid point length of stride did tend to the zero hour limit?” D “正如您所说的,这一步是至关重要的,可是……”罗文轩深呼吸了一口气,继续说道,“可是您打算如何证明格点步长趋于零时极限？”d
