Update [2005-2-21 8:54:25 by overconvergent]:: An anonymous contributor has pointed out that the Drupal engine is used for PhysComments.
There have been two mathematics reviews services since 1940 (Mathematical Reviews, also known as MathSciNet, was set up in 1940) and the older Zentrallblatt includes mathematical information dating all the way back to 1868), but it seems that there has been no equivalent for physics.
Until now.

The Notices of the AMS has recently had a two-part article on the life and works of the mathematician Alexander Grothendieck, whose achievements in the field of algebraic geometry in the 1950s and 1960s revolutionised the field, before he sensationally left the world of research mathematics in the early 1970s.

Tit For Tat Beaten?

The Prisoners' Dilemma is a well-known problem in game theory: should one defect or cooperate? The rational answer seems to be to defect, but if the players could cooperate, then they could share a greater reward.
The "Tit-for-Tat" strategy - begin by cooperating, then mirror the adversary's move - is a simple yet highly effective way to play. It has long been thought to be one of the best possible strategies, but a new strategy has emerged which can sometimes do even better.

Publishing your thesis means sharing the fruit of your years of hard work with the world, completing one stage of your career and embarking on the next. What steps are needed to turn your thesis into a publishable paper? What should you cut? Should you figure out those last points you were stuck on? How long should this take? Should you ask someone to look at it before you consider it finished? Where should you submit your draft once you're ready? How do you do that? What if your submission is rejected? And what if it is accepted? This panel explored this important and exciting step of a mathematical career and aspects of publishing one's research.

Dr Grigori Perelman, of the Steklov Institute of Mathematic, claimed two years ago to have proven the Poincare Conjecture, one of the million dollar Clay Institute Millenium Problems. So far, indications are that the proof is holding up.
