宋铮去了芝加哥后，就有论文发在Econometrica

我也研究过弦论一段时候，它所用到的数学侧重微分复几何，准备知识是：微分几何，复分析（含复变函数） ...

你说的很有道理。但对于“不认为弦论的数学是21世纪的数学，相反弦论的数学只是20世纪数学瓶颈的体现”，我不能认同。不知你是否熟悉哈佛弦论专家Cumrun Vafa搞的那套数学（http://www.physics.harvard.edu/~vafa/），那绝对是21世纪的。

Such an all-encompassing theory necessarily requires a tremendous amount of mathematical technology.  In fact, most of the mathematics needed for string theory is not even yet developed.  String theorists thus have the exciting task of building new mathematics as tools to explore new laws of physics.  It is therefore not surprising that string theory is at the cross roads of many fields, including mathematics, particle phenomenology and astrophysics. Cumrun Vafa's research has involved essentially all these aspects.  Together with his colleagues he has worked on topological strings, trying to elucidate some new mathematics originating from string theory (notably in his work on mirror symmetry) and using these techniques to uncover some of the mysteries of black holes, particularly the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.  He has also applied these ideas to particle theories by geometrically engineering quantum field theories, as well as solving the strong coupling dynamics of confining theories (using large N matrix model technology) and geometrizing string theory defects (in a limit of string theory known as F-theory).  His recent work involves applying these ideas to come up with stringy predictions about what the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN may potentially discover in the near future.

宋确实牛逼，这个不要否认，为什么就有这么些吃不到葡萄却说葡萄酸的人呢？站着说话不腰疼，有本事自己也去发AER，Econometrica。宋虽说基础不大好，出身的学校也不入流，但是他着实很卖力，属于那种真正不带多少功利的潜心学术热爱学术的学者。某些人还是不要以小人之心度君子之腹了，不要光看到人家光鲜的一面，看不到人家背地里付出的努力和汗水。
我一直认为说经济学如何如何扯淡，玄学啊，伪科学啊，诸如此类，那是对经济学的误解，是属于经济学的门外汉。有句话说的好，一桶水不响,半桶水晃荡。

厉害 啊

呵呵 挺犀利的 顺便鄙视一下合工大

也就北美phd在读生的水平

都是知识分子，何必如此争论？

着实，理工农医对社会的影响目前看来更直接一些，但经济学的目的说到底也是为了改善社会。学科门类不同，不好说谁优谁劣。否则让哲学艺术情何以堪啊。再者，我想任何一个领域都有它自己的问题，不仅仅只有经济学有。

也许目前经济学还在很初级的阶段，并不能很好的指导人们认识和改善真实世界中的经济进而促进社会的发展，但这并不代表它以后不能。我们只是历史进程中的一个瞬间而已，如何能评判得了一门学科全部？

9楼是说的好

在芝加哥拿终身教职，不是简单地数几篇论文，发在什么级别杂志的事情，必须是这个领域全世界的领军人物。有 ...

你说的太对了。

真正的英雄从来不出在名门！

10楼比9楼更有见底
