I've been cut off from math gossip for some time, and I just want to confirm that Perelman has refused both the Fields medal and the Millennium Prize.
Hey all. Looks like my 15 year anniversary of joining PF happened yesterday (while my internet was down). Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, staff and non-staff, for helping make PF such a wonderful community over the years. Here's to everyone at PF, current, past, or future. Cheers!
