The Poincaré Conjecture: work of Grigory Perelman
Grigory Perelman was awarded a Fields Medal at the Madrid meeting on the International Congress of Mathematicians for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow." A number of authors have written detailed expositions of Perelman's work. These papers, as well as other references, are listed here.
P vs NP Problem
If it is easy to check that a solution to a problem is correct, is it also easy to solve the problem? This is the essence of the P vs NP question. Typical of the NP problems is that of the Hamiltonian Path Problem: given N cities to visit (by car), how can one do this without visiting a city twice? If you give me a solution, I can easily check that it is correct. But I cannot so easily (given the methods I know) find a solution.
Workshops at CMI
CMI plans to hold four to six small Workshops each year at its offices at One Bow Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. These will be of three to six days duration. For more information or to make a proposal, please contact David Ellwood (ellwood at claymath dot org, 617-995-2600) or Jim Carlson (carlson at claymath dot org, 617-995-2600).
