Chapter 480: It Hurts Once and for All

On the other side, the United States.

At Brown University, Professor Michael Kosterlitz, wearing black round-frame glasses and a full beard, is holding the unified framework theory of strongly correlated electron systems in his hand and reading it carefully.

He is the winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the topological phase transition and topological phase of matter with his colleagues.

His research direction is mainly condensed matter theory, and he has conducted in-depth research in one-dimensional/two-dimensional physics, phase transition fields, random systems, electron localization, spin glass states, etc.; critical dynamics and other fields.

Compared with other physicists, his achievements in mathematics in condensed matter physics are much deeper.

The discovery of the topological phase transition and topological phase of matter was the result of topological research.

Therefore, Michael Kosterlitz can be said to have found a treasure for the mathematical framework and theory in this paper in his hand.

The mathematical framework of the strongly correlated electron system has brought him a lot of inspiration and methods.

So since downloading and printing out the paper, he has almost never let it out of his sight and studied it like crazy.

At this moment, there was a murmur of discussion in the office.

Michael Kosterlitz, who was somewhat disturbed, frowned and looked at his students, wondering what they were discussing.

As if noticing the gaze of his mentor, a student said: "Professor, we just saw the news that Professor Xu was suspected of plagiarizing the results of the South Korean KL-66 team in the unified theoretical framework of strongly correlated electron systems."

Michael Kosterlitz: "????"

Hearing this, Professor Michael had a question mark on his face: "What did you say? Plagiarism of what?"

"Well, the news link is sent to you, professor, please take a look." The student fiddled with it and said while holding up his mobile phone.

Hearing this, Michael Kosterlitz quickly touched his mobile phone, clicked on the link sent by the student, and read it.

He couldn't help but frowning more and more.

"It's just nonsense!"

If the mobile phone was not his own, he would really want to smash it.

It's too outrageous!

Does the academic community in South Korea have any shame?

They can even say such things.

In the office, the student who was stunned by his mentor's sudden outburst came back to his senses after a while and asked cautiously: "Professor, did Academician Xu plagiarize South Korea's achievements?"

Michael Costley glanced at his students and said lightly: "Do you believe that a top scholar like Professor Xu would plagiarize other people's achievements?"

"Or do you think he would lack the honor brought to him by the framework theory of strongly correlated electron systems?"

Hearing this, the student shook his head violently.

Although the framework theory of strongly correlated electron systems is very important for condensed matter physics and even the entire physics, for Professor Xu, he already has many achievements of this level.

Whether it is the seven millennium problems, or the mathematical methods for calculating distant celestial bodies, or the controlled nuclear fusion technology, each one is comparable or even superior.

Especially the last one, to be honest, he really doesn't know what kind of wisdom Professor Xu relied on to lead China to successfully achieve ignition in this era.

Seeing this, Michael Costley continued calmly: "That's it."

On the other side, Beijing.

In the Yihe Aman Hotel, Xu Chuan was still communicating with Witten and Deligne.

The grand unified framework of strongly correlated electron systems integrates not only strongly correlated systems, but also knowledge of electron dynamics motion in non-equilibrium states, quantum multi-body systems, etc.

Even for a big guy like Witten who is proficient in mathematics, physics, quantum science and other fields, it is still not easy to fully understand.

Because Witten deliberately refunded his plane ticket, turned down the CERN meeting, and extended his room for two more days, he discussed the framework of strongly correlated electron systems with Xu Chuan in the hotel.

As for Deligne, he stayed because he had nothing to do.

Although he didn't know much about the field of condensed matter physics, it didn't affect his research on mathematics.

"Speaking of which, when are you going to hold a report meeting?" After chatting with Xu Chuan for a while, Wei Teng asked curiously: "Many people in the physics community are waiting for your report meeting. I guess everyone has a lot of questions in their hearts."

"The mathematical methods used in your grand unified framework theory may be a bit difficult for most physicists to understand. Everyone needs your explanation."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Wait for a while. It will be the New Year in more than a week. It won't be too late to hold it after the New Year."

"And the physics community also needs some time to understand my paper. Let time settle."

Wei Teng nodded, and just as he was about to say something, a mobile phone rang in the room.

Hearing the ringing, Xu Chuan took out a mobile phone from his pocket. After seeing that it was a call from his own tutor, he didn't think much and answered the call directly.

After listening for a while, he frowned slightly, a little surprised.

After learning all the details from his tutor Chen Zhengping, he nodded and asked: "Anything else, teacher."

Chen Zhengping shook his head and said, "No, but how are you going to handle this matter? If you don't handle it well, it will be a big blow to your personal reputation."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not the first time I've dealt with this kind of thing. Last time the NS Equation Washington Times dealt with almost the same thing, it didn't have any impact on me."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhengping nodded and said: "Well, you can handle it yourself. If there is any need for help from the school, the principal has already come over. As long as you ask, the school will do its best." Cooperate."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take a look at their specific reports first."

"Then let's do this for now."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan opened Weixin, clicked on the news message sent to him by his mentor Chen Zhengping, and read through it.

On the side, Witten asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Although he didn't hear the specific content of the conversation and didn't understand Chinese very well, when the student in front of him mentioned the NS equation and the Washington Times, he knew something might have happened.

After all, he participated in the entire mathematics report meeting.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. When one of the developers of the KL-66 material was interviewed by the media, he said that I quoted, or should be said to have plagiarized, their research results on the KL-66 material, and asked me Come forward and give an explanation.”

Hearing this, Deligne frowned slightly and asked, "Why is it South Korea again?"

Xu Chuan shrugged and said: "Normally, the relationship between my motherland and South Korea is more complicated. They are considered to be feuds. If there is a chance, they don't mind attacking and discrediting us."

Deligne frowned and said: "Did you cite their results in your paper? If not, I suggest you respond publicly. This kind of dirty water should not fall on you."

"If there is, this matter is a bit troublesome. This kind of person will probably seize this point and bite you."

In fact, in academia, it is normal to cite other people's results as proof tools and steps in one's own papers.

Especially in the world of mathematics, many difficult problems cannot be solved by one person or at once.

On the basis of predecessors, citing the results and papers of other mathematicians as one's own cornerstone and continuing to climb forward is something that no one would say.

This kind of thing is perfectly normal. After all, science is built up bit by bit. Without the paving the way of predecessors, there would be no success for future generations.

But sometimes you can't stand the villain's mischief, and it's very annoying to be grabbed by this kind of garbage and not let go.

Xu Chuan smiled and was about to answer when Edward Witten shook his head and said quickly: "No! I understand the results of South Korea on KL-66 materials and have also read papers related to KL-66."

"In Xu's grand unified framework paper, he never cited the results of KL-66 from beginning to end. What he cited was just the diamagnetic mechanism of KL-66 material that he had previously studied to explain it. Low-dimensional strong correlation transition."

After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and continued: "Deligne is right, you should fight back. This kind of dirty water should not be poured on your head."

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Of course, this kind of thing cannot be ignored. It seems that the lesson NS Equation taught them last time was not enough, so that they thought I was easy to bully."

Faced with this kind of thing, he has rich experience in dealing with it, so he can just hit the pain once and for all.

After all, he is not a simple scholar. He has many key technologies in his hands, some of which are necessary.

As the debate ferments on the Internet, the relevant discussions are becoming more and more heated.

While everyone was arguing endlessly, a press conference announced by Shuimu University attracted the attention of all netizens.

"In response to South Korea's citation of KL-66 results in papers, Academician Xu Chuan will hold a press conference at our school tomorrow to respond! 》

As soon as this news report came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

For Xu Chuan, it is necessary to respond to the dirty water thrown at him by South Korea.

In order to end this discussion as soon as possible and restore his reputation, he directly contacted Shuimu University and held a press conference here to formally respond to the matter.

Of course, there are some other things announced.

After all, some people will keep jumping in front of you if you don't hit them once and hurt them.

PS: There will be another chapter later. I suggest you get up and read it tomorrow morning. I will seize the time to finish the climax tonight.
