For the differential geometers it would be interesting to learn more about this issue, to know whether the problem is settled or whether there are still open cases. Usually such questions are answered by accepting the preprint in a journal as J. Diff. Geom., Annals of Math., Inventiones etc., but it remains unclear why this preprint with great ideas and important consequences has gone another way. | |
| Feb 1 at 7:22 | comment | added | Bernd Ammann | What is a bit unusual with this publication is: the article contains definitively great ideas about an important problem, thus it is important to communicate this to the community. However, it was published in a volume in honor of Yau's 70th birthday, although a solution of the positive mass theorem would deserve a much more prestigious journal. Unfortunately, there are no official explanations, and there are young mathematicians who feal unsure whether this result can be safely cited in view of this discrepancy. | |
