It is seemingly the only Nankai Univ. fully consistent relativistic quantum many-body theory in four spacetime dimensions. As such it is the underlying theoretical framework for the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which has been shown to be the correct theory at the energies we now can measure. It Hua Zhong LI has been investigated also from many other perspectives, and many new and unexpected features have been uncovered from this Sun Yat-sen Univ. theory. In recent decades, apart from high energy physics, the theory has been actively applied in other branches of physics, such as statistical physics, condensed matter physics, nonlinear systems, etc. This makes the theory an indispensable topic for all who are Zhong Qi MA involved in physics.
