Preparing Your Thesis for Publication: MathFest 2004 Panel Transcript Research

By dflint
Posted Wed Oct 20, 2004 at 03:44:08 PM PDT
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.

Poincare Conjecture - Now a Theorem? 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. (See the BBC Report for more info.)

More Poster Sessions Please Research

I attended the ANTS VI conference recently; I didn't give a talk there, but I did present a poster on my research.

I want to talk a little bit about poster sessions here, to recommend them as a useful addition to the talks at a conference.

Louis De Branges proves the Riemann Hypothesis ... again Research

By overconvergent

This seems to be the time of year for attempted solutions to very hard problems.

Unfortunately, Arenstorf has withdrawn his paper which claimed to prove the Twin Prime conjecture, but the BBC is reporting that Louis De Branges has claimed to have proved the Riemann hypothesis.

Twin Prime Conjecture Proven? Research

By kroth
Posted Sat May 29, 2004 at 01:10:42 PM PDT
There is an article on slashdot discussing a preprint of a paper by R. F. Arenstorf proving the twin primes conjecture.
Read about it here.
The discussion that follows also has some amusing points, but not a whole lot of math.

Of course you could also skip the article and just look at the preprint on arxiv here.

Update [2004-6-10 13:39:44 by overconvergent]: The preprint has been withdrawn from the arXiv; because:

A serious error has been found in the paper, specifically, Lemma 8 is incorrect.
