Poincare Conjecture solved?
Two Chinese mathematicians, Zhu Xiping and Cao Huaidong, have put the final pieces together in the solution to the puzzle that has perplexed scientists around the globe for more than a century.
The two scientists have published a paper in the latest U.S.-based Asian Journal of Mathematics , providing complete proof of the Poincare Conjecture promulgated by French mathematician Henri Poincare in 1904.
The proof apparently runs something like 300 pages, so complete verification will take some time. The mathematicians give a lot of credit to those that worked on the problem previously. So far I have not seen anything that gives any details of the proof itself.
