The Decision From the International Mathematical Union

Including the questions answering sessions, this report lasted for five full days.

Even on the last day, no one was able to find a mistake in the theorem and proof.

It seemed like Lu Zhou had answered all of the questions.

Therefore, all of the doubts disappeared.

A twelve-man review committee organized by the International Mathematical Union gathered in a Jin Ling University conference room. They would give their final review of the paper.

Even though they did not represent the opinion of the entire mathematics community, they at least represented the opinion of the International Mathematical Union.

Shigefumi Mori stood up and spoke solemnly.

"Gentlemen, this is the first time we have faced such a major decision.

"I propose we decide on a vote.

"Let's cast your votes."

The votes were not anonymous.
