Naturally, today's presentation left a deep impression on everyone present.
If we add yesterday's already influential report at Huaqing to today's presentation at Yanbei University, it's clear that this event also received more attention from those outside the venue.
The only pity is that this internal university presentation was semi-open by nature, and unlike major mathematicians' conferences, there was no live streaming or recording for scholars interested in the subject to download the video through official channels and understand the mathematician's thoughts.
But the presentation still piqued the curiosity of many Huaqing students.
Especially since yesterday there had been a debate.
"Have you heard? Today at Yanbei University, Qiao Ze skipped the Q&A session in his presentation."
"Haha, if that's the case, the other side must have been taught a harsh lesson, right?"
"Well, it's not exactly like that. This time, at Yanbei University's presentation, Qiao Ze was said to be addressing preliminary issues related to solving the mass gap hypothesis."
"The mass gap hypothesis? Wasn't the title of the presentation about the relationship between non-Abelian groups and Riemann space? How did it shift to the mass gap hypothesis? Isn't that an exaggeration?"
"No kidding, our school's advisor just posted on their Moments about it, and screenshots are already spreading among the graduate students. It seems that God Qiao might have found the key to solving the mass gap hypothesis. You don't know, I heard that the professors at the presentation were all stunned. Oh, and it's said that several academicians attended today's presentation and no one refuted Qiao Ze's conclusion."
"Um...is Qiao Ze really that incredible?"
"Who gave you the courage to call God Qiao by his name?"
Uncommonly, after Yanbei University mocked Huaqing yesterday, although there were some minor issues in today's presentation, Huaqing didn't retaliate with sarcasm.
Everyone understood what a proof of the mass gap hypothesis would mean for the entire field of mathematics.
No, not just mathematics, but also for physics.
Even if just the mathematical framework was proven, it would at least indicate that the most cutting-edge physical frameworks are based on a correct theoretical foundation. For scientists researching particle physics, this would be akin to an injection of confidence.
It would at least provide more solid ground for research.
At this moment, Qiao Ze was once again invited to an inescapable dinner engagement.
But today's dinner was undoubtedly on a much larger scale than yesterday's.
Today's dinner was not just attended by professors from Yanbei University; a large table that seated twenty people was filled with five senior academicians from the School of Mathematics at Huaxia Science Academy.
This made even Yu Chenggong unable to chat and laugh as freely as usual.
No help for it, the level of this gathering was indeed too high, especially for those in the academic circle, and it also showcased the deep roots of Yanbei University in the field of science.
Perhaps only Qiao Ze could maintain a state similar to his usual demeanor.
It's not that Qiao Ze disrespected these senior academicians. It's just his nature.
After exchanging pleasantries, and while waiting for the dishes to be served, Xu Changshu, who had taken the initiative to sit next to Qiao Ze, actually managed to have a talk with him.
Actually, at the presentation, Xu Changshu had prepared some questions he intended to ask.
But when Qiao Ze turned and walked down from the podium, Xu Changshu, as surprised as he was, could only bury his questions in his heart for the time being.
In just a few simple face-to-face sentences of discussion, Xu Changshu felt he had gained tremendous benefits.
And it solidified his resolve.
If Qiao Ze was unwilling to come to the Capital, then his decision to go to Xilin was definitely the right one.
