| Nov 11 at 21:48 | comment | added | Bogdan Grechuk | The listed theorems are currently not included, because the statements in the papers are very far from being as elementary as required for the book. If someone (you?) would e-mail me a way to state main theorems (or any important corollary!) from these papers using only definitions already in the book (plus maximum a couple of paragraphs with new definitions), then I would be able to include this. I am happy to share the current draft - e-mail me and I will e-mail you back with the draft. | |
| Nov 11 at 20:38 | comment | added | pinaki | Just curious: there were two (very) important advances in singularity theory in 2024/2025 - resolution of a very widely studied implication of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture by Fernandez de Bobadilla and Pelka (annals.math.princeton.edu/2024/200-1/p04) and a counterexample resolution of singularities by Nash blow-ups by Castillo, Duarte, Leyton-Alvarez and Liendo (annals.math.princeton.edu/articles/22273) - are these included in your update? And would you be kind enough to share a draft (I will send you an email)? | |

| Nov 5 at 17:20 | comment | added | Bogdan Grechuk | About 90 percent of theorems described in my book are from the listed top journals. I also included some theorems based on other criteria, such as (i) win of major prize that is given for a specific paper, or (ii) very high citation comparing to other papers published in the same year and same subject category, etc. However, for future papers it is difficult to predict prizes or citations, so I just define "great" as "top-journal-level" for the purpose of this mathoverflow question. | |
| Nov 5 at 16:45 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @SamHopkins I like that result as well, but I have doubts about whether it is "great" in the sense that Bogdan Grechuk has defined the term. On the other hand, it seems to me that many of the results in Grechuk's 2021 book also fail to be "great" in this sense. | |

| Nov 5 at 3:48 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins♦ | I think Jineon Baek's solution of the Moving Sofa Problem is considered correct by the experts and this paper will be published in 2026 or beyond; see also this Quanta article about the solution. | |

| Nov 4 at 22:45 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | The Stanley-Stembridge conjecture, now Hikita's theorem, qualifies. While I have no inside information, my guess is that it will be published in JAMS. | |
| Nov 4 at 22:19 | comment | added | Bogdan Grechuk | Example is in the next sentence after "(or above)": Perelman's proof of the Poincare conjecture is above the average paper in top journal. The publication period is 2026-onward to include all papers that will not be published by the end of 2025, without the need to guess whether they will be published in 2026 or later. | |
| Nov 4 at 20:36 | comment | added | Kimball | What is above the level of Annals, JAMS, etc? Also, are you asking for all such theorems to be published from 2026-$\infty$? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask a question about the future in the future? | |
