ICM98-CL11 (97/04/07): Riemann conjecture solved? ADDENDUM
TO ALL MATHEMATICIANS WHO HAVE PRELIMINARILY PREREGISTERED FOR
THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICIANS 1998 IN BERLIN
Eleventh Circular Letter, April 7, 1997 (Special Announcement)
ADDENDUM
Subject: ICM98-CL11: Riemann conjecture solved?
Dear colleague:
The message concerning the Riemann conjecture I received looked a bit
suspicious (unnamed bright young physicist), but I was advised by
serious people that there could be some truth in it. After sending out
the circular letter I was showered by e-mails pointing out that this is
(most likely) an April Fool's joke, though a good one, based indeed on
significant new work by Alain Connes.
Sorry for bothering you.
Sincerely
Martin Groetschel
