I'm not sure which mathematical problem you're talking about -- could you
be more specific? Are you referring to Grigori Perelman's purported proof
of the Poincare conjecture? (I say purported merely because the proof has
not yet been published, to the best of my knowledge, and the peer-review
process may find errors. People in the field seem confident that
Perelman's work contains no serious errors.)
