| May 11, 2010 at 8:11 | comment | added | Willie Wong | What do you mean by definitive? This is most probably one of those cases where there is a typo in an important paper and everybody knows about it. If you are looking for an actual, published article pointing out the mistake, then don't hold your breath. Most mathematicians are far too lazy (or nice) to "fix" trivially fixable mistakes in others' papers or books. Only fundamentally wrong proofs or claims get that treatment. | |
| May 11, 2010 at 3:53 | comment | added | Ben Whale | I'm glad you agree with me. I was hoping for something more definitive, however. I suppose I'm just surprised that in 34 years no one else has commented on this the literature. This seems very strange to me, especially for such an explicit construction. Hope you enjoyed the paper! | |
