报告摘要：The Origin of Mass is a most profound puzzle in physics. In this talk, I discuss the origin of mass from the 4d Higgs mechanism of the standard model (SM) to the geometric mass generation of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge/gravity and string theories, and to the topological mass generation of the 3d Chern-Smions gauge/gravity theories, at both the Lagrangian level and the scattering S-matrix level. I further highlight a truly profound relation, (Gravity) = (Gauge Theory)^2 and its massive formulation, which point to fundamental clues to the deep gauge-gravity connection and their unification.
