Navier{Stokes equations @v + (v · r)v = −∇p + ν∆v + f(x; t) @t ν is the kinematic viscosity, f(x; t) is the external force, @ @ @ r = @x + @y + @z is the gradient operator, and @2 @2 @2 ∆ = @x2 + @y 2 + @z2 is the Laplacian operator. The Millennium Prize Problems P vs NP Problem Determine whether every language accepted by some nondeterministic algorithm in polynomial time is also accepted by some (deterministic) algorithm in polynomial time. The Millennium Prize Problems Yang{Mills Existence and Mass Gap Problem Prove that for any compact simple gauge group G, a non-trivial 4 quantum Yang{Mills theory exists on R and has a mass gap ∆ > 0. Yang{Mills Theory: nonabelian quantum field theory underlying the Standard Model. 4 R : 4{dimensional Euclidean space. Gauge group G: underlying symmetry group of the theory. Electromagnetic interactions: U1 Weak interactions: SU2 Strong interactions: SU3 Mass gap ∆: mass of lightest particle predicted by the theory. The Millennium Prize Problems The Hodge Conjecture Problem Show that every Hodge class on a projective complex manifold X is a linear combination with rational coefficients of the cohomology classes of complex subvarieties of X . k 2k k;k Hdg (X ) = H (X ; Q) \ H (X ): Projective complex manifold: manifold with some extra structure. Cohomology group Hn(X ; A): topological gadget describing the n{dimensional structure of X , counted using elements of A. n n H (X ) := H (X ; Z) (count with integers). Hk;k (X ): subgroup of H2k (X ) consisting of cohomology classes represented by harmonic forms of type (k; k). The Millennium Prize Problems The Birch{Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture Problem Let C be a rational elliptic curve. Show that the Taylor expansion of the Hasse L{series L(C; s) at s = 1 has the form L(C; s) = c(s − 1)r + higher order terms with c 6= 0 and r = rank(C). Elliptic curve: y 2 = x3 + ax + b The Millennium Prize Problems The Poincare´ Conjecture Problem Prove that every closed, simply-connected 3{manifold is homeomorphic to the 3{sphere S3. Definition An n{manifold is an object (a Hausdorff topological space) that locally \looks like" (is homeomorphic to) ordinary n{dimensional n space R . The Millennium Prize Problems.
