Timeline (last 90 days)
Perelman declined the Fields Medal in 2006 and the Millennium Prize in 2010.
The mathematics community spent years holding seminars and writing detailed papers before finally confirming the correctness of Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture.
To date, only Perelman solved the Poincaré Conjecture in 2003, and he himself declined the prize money.
Perelman published his proof of the Poincaré conjecture on arXiv between 2002 and 2003, and the Clay Mathematics Institute did not formally announce the award until 2010.
Perelman declined the 2006 Fields Medal and the one-million-dollar prize awarded by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2010.
Perelman uploaded three papers to the arXiv preprint server between 2002 and 2003 to prove the Poincaré conjecture, and it took approximately four years for teams including Cao Huai-Dong, Zhu Xiping, Kleiner, Lott, Morgan, and Tian Gang to finally confirm its correctness.
The Poincaré conjecture was proved by Perelman in 2006.
