		As of 2004 it is becoming accepted that a proof offered by Grigori Perelman in 2002 may have disposed of this question, after nearly a century.
		At the beginning of the 20th century, Henri Poincar was working on the foundations of topology — what would later be called combinatorial topology and then algebraic topology.
		In late 2002, Grigori Perelman of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Saint Petersburg was rumoured to have found a proof.

		If "Grisha" Perelman's proof of the Poincaré is correct — and many mathematicians suspect it is — it will seal his transformation from an obscure researcher into one of the world's leading scientists.
		Perelman has so far refused to publish his arguments, a mixture of esoteric math jargon and formulas, in a recognized journal, the traditional method for announcing scientific discoveries.
		"Grigori Perelman is one of the brilliant successors of earlier Petersburg mathematicians," said a former teacher, Gennadi Leonov, dean of the faculty of mathematics and mechanics at St. Petersburg State University.

		Perelman's results say he has proved a much broader conjecture about the geometry of three-dimensional spaces made in the 1970's.
		Perelman's approach uses a technique known as the Ricci flow, devised by Dr. Hamilton, who is now at Columbia University.

	The Poincare conjecture
		Perelman is a researcher at St. Peterburg-based Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Russian Academy.
		Though Perelman emerged from relative seclusion last year and gave lectures to math experts at various U.S. colleges, he appears uninterested in submitting his work to a journal and has not openly discussed the prize money.
		James Carlson, the institute's president, said that since Perelman's work is undergoing, in effect, a peer review by the world's brightest math minds, he may yet qualify for the prize.

	The Daily Princetonian - Perelman explains proof to famous math mystery
		Grigori Perelman presents his proof of the Poincaré Conjecture, known as one of the most difficult problems in mathematics.
		All told, more than 100 mathematicians from three generations gathered to listen to Dr. Grigori Perelman describe his potentially groundbreaking work, which may earn him a share of a $1 million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute for solving one of the "Millennium Prize Problems," the seven most difficult outstanding problems in mathematics.
		According to Sarnak, Perelman's most important result may be his work with Ricci flow, a technique that essentially "smoothes out" surfaces in such a way that they evolve into their simplest possible shape.

	Russian mathematician announces proof of celebrated Poincaré Conjecture
		If Perelman’s work does give a proof of Thurston’s Geometrization Conjecture, this together with previous work will establish that if a 3-dimensional manifold has all of its loops shrinkable to points, it carries a geometric structure that forces it to be topologically equivalent to the three-dimensional sphere, proving Poincaré’s Conjecture.
		Perelman’s spectacular efforts towards solving several of the great problems in three-dimensional geometry are particularly remarkable since they are taking place in a mathematical environment devastated by the collapse of the Soviet Union.
		Perelman’s articles are highly technical and written for specialists in the field of differential geometry.

		Perelman's results go well beyond a solution to the problem at hand, as did those of Dr. Wiles.
		Perelman's personal story has parallels to that of Dr. Wiles, who, without confiding in his colleagues, worked alone in his attic on Fermat's Last Theorem.
		Perelman's work, if correct, would provide the final piece of a complete description of the structure of three-dimensional manifolds and, almost as an afterthought, would resolve Poincaré's famous question.

		Perelman's papers were first published on the Internet and experts are currently trying to work their way through his equations.

		Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematician, has apparently solved the Poincaré conjecture, which states that if a closed 3-dimensional manifold has the homology of the sphere S3, them it is necessarily homeomorphic to S3.
		Then along came Grigori Perelman, and apparently solved it -- 'apparently' because other mathematicians now need to dissect his math to find any mistake.
		Perelman apparently, has just presented his math, in fairly technical detail, with little or no explanatory notes.

	Spheres in Disguise: Solid proof offered for famous conjecture: Science News Online, April 26, 2003
		Last week, Perelman told an equally attentive audience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that he has proven the conjecture together with a broader problem called the Thurston geometrization conjecture.
		Perelman has posted two papers about his research on the Internet (http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/math.DG/0303109 and http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/math.DG/0211159).
		But they agree that, unlike most previous attempts, Perelman's papers contain a wealth of important ideas that will be valuable even if his work turns out to fall short of proving the full Poincaré conjecture.

		Grigori Perelman from St Petersburg claims to have solved the horrendously complicated Poincare Conjecture that tries to explain the behaviour of multi-dimensional shapes in space, thereby making himself eligible for the prize offered by the Massachusetts-based Clay Mathematics Institute.
		He has simply posted his results on the Internet and left his peers to work out for themselves whether he is right — something they are still struggling to do.
		But the trouble is, he won't talk to anybody about it and has shown no interest in the money,” said Keith Devlin, Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University in California.
