AlexKontorovich · x · 2026-09-09
The American Mathematical Society issued an official statement on the announced Navier-Stokes resolution, signed by President Ravi Vakil and CEO John Meier. It calls the advance "a milestone in human knowledge," tracing the lineage from Navier, Stokes, Leray, and Ladyzhenskaya through Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa, then Alpöge and Buckmaster assisted by new technologies, with the final steps by OpenAI mathematicians—adding that the achievement "will bear fruit for a long time to come."
