| Dec 2, 2018 at 19:41 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @user170039 : Hsiang has indeed responded but the mathematical community has judged Hsiang's response to be insufficient. In a nutshell, there are many gaps in Hsiang's proof; Hsiang says that these gaps are trivial for any competent mathematician to fill, but nobody else seems to know how to fill most of them. | |
