Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 641 - 641 Quantum Yang-Mills Field

641 Quantum Yang-Mills Field

After Lu Zhou asked Xiao Ai how it was able to buy all of the equipment, he went silent for a while.

Seeing how Lu Zhou didn’t speak for a while, a text bubble popped up on the lower right corner of the screen.

[Master? 0.0]

“Nothing, I’m just a bit shocked… Oh yeah, you didn’t leave any trails behind, right?”

[Don’t worry, I already killed the company! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧]

“Oh, good…”

Since there wasn’t going to be any evidence left, Lu Zhou stopped asking questions.

After Lu Zhou praised Xiao Ai, he began to search the database for the thesis that Luo Wenxuan mentioned. After he found the thesis and looked at the author, he had a surprised look on his face…

“The thesis author is Arthur Jaffe…”

Arthur Jaffe was the former head of the American Mathematical Society and served as the director of the Clay Mathematics Inst.i.tute.

He and Edward Witten were the people who proposed the Yang-Mills equations to be one of the Millennium Prize Problems and made the announcement at the Inst.i.tut de France.

Before this problem was declared as a Millennium Prize Problem, Professor Jaffe had researched this problem for more than a decade, and he was considered a big name in this field.

Janies Glimm was the other thesis author. He was a well-known mathematical physics professor at Harvard University, but still a level below Jaffe.

In any case, this thesis was the life work of these two big names.

Knowing this, Lu Zhou had much more respect for this thesis. He printed the thesis on A4 paper and began to carefully read the content.

Roughly speaking, Luo Wenxuan’s interpretation was correct. Even though there were some minor problems, the overall idea matched the thesis content.

“I see…”

Lu Zhou had a hint of excitement in his tone, and he began to write a few lines of equations on a piece of paper.

“By constructing a progressive projection linear operator E2 on H and project the state in H onto a state less than two particle ma.s.ses, one can prove that the operator E2 has a range of values between Ω and e^(- sH)Ω, forming a vector s.p.a.ce…

“Then, I can obtain the asymptotic expansion of λ!

“As for the specific value of the ma.s.s m… What exactly is the particle ma.s.s m anyway?”

Lu Zhou gently tapped his pen on the paper and scribbled a solid dot on the piece of paper.

Using theoretical physics to find a particle was no easy feat, especially when the particle was made up of ma.s.sless bricks.

Fortunately, Lu Zhou was a mathematician. He just had to be logically consistent. The problem could be hugely simplified. However, if he had to physically look for the particle himself, that would be nearly impossible.

“The renormalization group equation has to have a fixed subtraction point. Then set all the parameters of the renormalization at this subtraction point… If only I can attach a scalar field on a s.p.a.ce-time manifold like the electroweak interaction and solve a problem that way…

“Wait a minute, fields…”

The pen in Lu Zhou’s hand suddenly jerked, and his eyes lit up.

“Quantum Yang-Mills Field!”

Lu Zhou spun the pen in his hand as his eyes flashed with excitement.

G.o.dd.a.m.n it!

Why didn’t I think of this before?

…

No matter how interesting mathematics was, everyone still had to eat.

After all, Lu Zhou couldn’t stay up all night on an empty stomach.

Lu Zhou went to the cafeteria at night.

Unfortunately, the cafeteria at the Jinling Inst.i.tute for Advanced Study didn’t serve authentic BBQ meat and rice. Lu Zhou happened to b.u.mp into w.a.n.g Peng, so he ordered three dishes and a bowl of soup before sitting down with w.a.n.g Peng.

w.a.n.g Peng walked over holding two bowls of yellow bean soup and handed one of the bowls to Lu Zhou. He opened the disposable chopsticks and asked, “You seem busy recently?”

Lu Zhou: “Kind of… How do you know?”

“From experience.”

“Experience?”

w.a.n.g Peng smiled and said, “You go to university more often when you’re not busy. But when you’re busy, you would stay longer at the Inst.i.tute for Advanced Study. If you get even busier, you won’t even leave your house.”

Lu Zhou paused for a second and smiled. “You really are from the special military force.”

w.a.n.g Peng smiled and said, “This doesn’t have a lot to do with special forces, just like experience.”

“I don’t think most people have your type of life experience.”

While the two were chatting, Lu Zhou’s phone in his pocket suddenly began to ring.

He took out his phone and saw the call was from Chen Yushan, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up.

“I have to take this call.”

Lu Zhou picked up the call and walked to the side.

The second the call connected, Chen Yushan’s voice traveled through the phone.

“The chairman of Zhongshan New Materials went to find you?”

“Yeah, why?”

Chen Yushan was suspicious, and she said, “Baosheng Group is exporting SG-1 superconducting materials, which is owned by China Airlines. Why the h.e.l.l is a private company like him trying to get in on this?”

Lu Zhou: “Is there a problem?”

Chen Yushan: “Not exactly a problem. As long as the company can pa.s.s the confidentiality check and production qualification check, there aren’t any problems. However, this type of business is heavily affected by government policies, and it might seem profitable now, but what about later? The worst thing a small company can do is try to diversify. They’re already producing battery materials, now they’re investing in SG-1. This isn’t a good thing.”

Star Sky Technology had a 15% stake in Zhongshan New Materials. In some sense, the interests of Zhongshan New Materials aligned with the interests of Star Sky Technology. Therefore, even though Star Sky Technology had normal voting shares, Chen Yushan still had to watch what Zhongshan New Materials was doing.

“You know more about business than me, just do what you want.” Lu Zhou paused for a second before adding, “However, Liu Wanshan helped me a lot in the past, so it’d be best if we can help him.”

Lu Zhou didn’t really care about how much money he could earn. Whether Baosheng Group had exclusive market shares or that there were other companies, Star Sky Technology’s patent licensing fees were charged by production amount, so it wouldn’t make a huge difference.

Since CEO Liu really wanted to enter this market, Lu Zhou obviously wouldn’t stop him.

However, any type of new business venture was risky.

Since CEO Liu had done business for so long, he was definitely well aware of this.

Chen Yushan jokingly said, “I didn’t expect you to be a sentimental person.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Isn’t everyone like this?”

“Not necessarily.”

Lu Zhou: “Then what type of person did you think I was?”

Chen Yushan couldn’t help but smile and said flirtatiously, “An apathetic person.”

“Apathetic person?”

Lu Zhou went silent for two seconds, and Chen Yushan continued to speak, “Yeah, I still have a meeting to attend. You’re probably busy, so I’ll stop bothering you… Oh yeah, in the second half of this year, I plan on moving the headquarters of Star Sky Technology to Jinling. It’s easier to communicate with you then. What do you think?”

Lu Zhou: “I’m fine with anything… What about employees?”

“Some will stay in Shanghai, some will come here. It’s not like we’re disbanding the Shanghai office.”

Lu Zhou nodded and replied, “Okay then.”
