Abstract

Auszug Vier Tage vor der Schlagzeile in der New York Times, an einem Sonntag, hatten die drei einen neunseitigen Preprint mit dem Titel „PRIMES is in P“ an 15 Fachleute verschickt. Noch am Abend gratulierten Jaikumar Radhakrishnan und Vikraman Arvind. Montag früh befand einer der Altmeister des Fachs, Carl Pomerance, das Resultat für korrekt, organisierte in seiner Begeisterung für den Nachmittag ein spontanes Seminar und informierte Sara Robinson von der New York Times. Dienstag wurde der Preprint im Internet frei zugänglich [1]. Donnerstag beendete eine weitere Koryphäe, Hendrik Lenstra Jr., eine kurze Nörgelei im E-Mail-Verteiler NMBRTHRY mit dem Diktum: The remarks [. . .] are unfounded and/or inconsequential. The proofs [. . .] do NOT have too many additional problems to mention. The only true mistake is [. . .], but that is quite easy to fix. Other mistakes [. . .] are too minor to mention. The paper is in substance completely correct. Und bereits am Freitag stellte Dan Bernstein einen auf eine Seite verkürzten, geglätteten Beweis des Hauptresultats ins Netz [2].
