Edward Witten’s father was a physicist who studied the theory of relativity.

Following the inheritance of his father, Edward Witten possessed unimaginable physical intuitions, so that the profound physics theories he put forward could not even be explained clearly by himself.

So Edward Witten explained his superstring theory through mathematical language and won the Fields Medal.

The basis for the award of the International Mathematical Union is that Mr. Edward Witten has done a unified mathematical treatment of superstring theory, with outstanding achievements and outstanding contributions.

Edward Witten claimed that he didn't understand mathematics. He should mean that he didn't understand all mathematics, only a little bit.

In the field of mathematics that Edward Witten understands, his level is better than most professional mathematicians in the world, such as low-dimensional topology.

Low-dimensional topology studies four-dimensional and lower-dimensional manifolds. Because of the intervention of algebraic topology, low-dimensional topology is closely related to algebraic geometry.

In this algebraic geometry class, Professor Witten explained his understanding of low-dimensional topology and diverged in combination with string theory.

The students in the class were more confused and less understanding, no one could interrupt Witten’s lectures, and they couldn’t understand them and didn’t know how to intervene.

Witten is used to not being understood by the world, let alone these students, even few of his colleagues really understand him.

In recent years, Witten has not brought any graduate students or doctoral students, because previous students let him down.

Sora has the ability to pry into the mysteries of the universe and the truth of the microcosm, and Witten cannot find a successor.

"The microscopic view can be like this." Witten had a piece of chewing gum in his hand. He peeled off the wrapping paper and stretched the chewing gum again.

"It can also be like this." Witten compresses the chewing gum and then compresses it, finally kneading it into a pill.

Witten used a piece of chewing gum to demonstrate the changes in the microscopic world, and simultaneously explained: "When we enter the four-dimensional space, the three-dimensional space we observe is completely different from the three-dimensional space we observe in the three-dimensional space. If the three-dimensional simplex It is a tetrahedron, so the four-dimensional simplex is a generalized tetrahedron with five vertices..."

"But no one has ever entered the four-dimensional space, as well as the higher-dimensional space." Finally, a student interrupted Professor Witten's lecture. This student was Shen Qi.

Witten walked to Shen Qi and said, "So only you understand what I'm talking about?"

Shen Qi also happened to have chewing gum in his pocket. He peeled off a piece of chewing gum wrapper, stretched, compressed, and kneaded the chewing gum into pellets, imitating Witten’s tone and said: "The microscopic view can be like this or it can be like this. But the truth is..."

Shen Qi stuffed the gum into his mouth and chewed it up: "That's it."

"Should I call you Einstein or Schrodinger?" Professor Witten smiled.

"Shen Qi, my name is Shen Qi."

"Shen Qi, he successfully demonstrated the topology of the 21st century!" Witten suddenly became excited, and his tone changed.

Turning back to normal, Witten said: "Before this, I was talking about topology in the 20th century. The theory of the 20th century was outdated, but no one questioned me, except Shen Qi."

The other students looked at each other and did not comprehend the true meaning of topology in the 21st century from the two gums of the 21st century.

After class, Witten asked Shen Qi to stay in the classroom and asked very interested: "Have you studied string theory?"

"No, Professor Witten, I don't actually understand physics." Shen Qi shook his head.

String theory believes that all subatomic particles are not small dots, but strings similar to rubber bands.

The significance of string theory is to describe the entire universe in a unified model. Of course, this theory is difficult to be verified by specific experiments, at least at this stage.

"Although I have a bachelor's degree in physics, it is nothing at all in Princeton." Shen Qi said ashamed. "I tried to explain Professor Witten's problem with mathematical methods. The co-dimensionality of a projective algebraic manifold is positive. The algebraic sub-cluster of integers, the vector space generated by its basic class changes all the time."

"It's a good explanation. I explained it like that back then. I won the Fields Medal by accident. You know, Shen Qi, I have never positioned myself as a mathematician, but it turns out that there are only a handful of people in the world. A mathematician is a sensible person." Witten is a bit regretful. He positioned himself as a physicist but unexpectedly won the Fields Medal. However, the Nobel Prize in Physics has never been matched by Witten.

"Haha." Shen Qi laughed twice. Witten meant that other physicists in the world were of limited level. The Nobel Prize in Physics review experts hired by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences could not understand Witten’s physical theory or understand. There is no way to verify it, and some even say that string theory is pseudoscience.

Only those mathematicians who are engaged in pure theoretical research can understand Witten's true ability.

Witten was very popular more than ten or twenty years ago. In recent years, he has become a lot older, a little depressed and cold in academia.

"You are a gifted student." Witten ended the brief exchange with Shen Qi, and Shen Qi left a deep impression on him.

After saying goodbye to Witten, Shen Qi suddenly realized an amazing idea: "orbifold!"

Orbifold is regarded as a manifold with singularities in the field of mathematics.

Orbifold involves many branches, including topology, algebraic geometry, and Witten's string theory.

In topology, the orbifold singularity is often regarded as an orbifold structure on topological manifolds, similar to differential manifolds can be regarded as topological manifolds with a smooth structure.

The proof of Riemann's conjecture is postponed for a while, anyway, there is no clue.

Shen Qi immediately went to the Flint Library and after consulting some materials, he decided to do a relatively unpopular subject research.

For symplectic manifolds, only a few scholars in the world have proved that two symplectic manifolds are equivalent if and only if their basic groups are isomorphic.

The research results on how to use orbifold basic groups to characterize symplectic orbifold groupoids can hardly be found.

"Being an unpopular subject for fun, maybe you can win an award." Shen Qi's desire for awards is getting stronger and stronger~www.readwn.com~ He is often stimulated recently.

Not long ago, Shen Qi was stimulated by Mary's husband. Her husband swiped 11 math awards in just a few years, like a devil.

Just now, Shen Qi was stimulated by Witten, who was studying physics and won a Fields Medal reluctantly.

I hope to prove that Riemann's conjecture wants to get the Fields Medal, and I may wait until which year.

There are many competitors for hot topics, and the competition is fierce.

As long as unpopular subjects can produce results, there is great hope for winning.

However, the biggest obstacle to researching unpopular subjects is that there are too few useful references to find a few powerful citations.

"So, I can only rely on my brain to make up." Shen Qi wrote a written report, preparing to apply for the project with Professor Mueller.
