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.)

From an article posted at Columbia, it looks like the proof is indeed holding up - and that Perelman isn't particularly interested in claiming his $1 million prize!
