Grigory Perelman is probably the world’s smartest man. He is a former researcher at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Russia and has solved the Poincare Conjecture, one of the most intractable mathematical problems ever conceived.
However, the 44-year-old math genius has turned down a $1million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute, because according to him, he is not interested in money or fame.
Perelman, dubbed “Mathsputin” because of his resemblance to Rasputin, currently lives with his mother and sister in a small apartment in St. Petersburg. Neighbors say he spends his days inside the flat playing table tennis against a wall.

庞加莱猜想,参见wikipedia.org的叙述。还发现以下内容:
《流形的命运》(Manifold Destiny)是一篇由Sylvia Nasar和David Gruber撰稿,于2006年8月28日刊登在《纽约客》(The New Yorker)杂志上的文章。此文详细描述了围绕庞加莱猜想之格里戈里·佩雷尔曼(Grigori Perelman)证明所发生的一些背景,他对数学界的幻灭和退出,并描绘了1982年菲尔茨奖得主丘成桐的一幅不敢让人恭维的肖像。丘成桐于2006年6月3日向媒体宣布,他的学生、中国数学家曹怀东和朱熹平彻底证明了庞加莱猜想,引起争议。
