Re: Countdown to the 2010 Fields medal(s)

=================================
Part 10 of my comments on the
26-th International Congress of Mathematicians
(ICM2010), that will be held in Hyderabad, in India,
from Thursday, August 19, to Friday, August 27, 2010.
=================================
I have posted all of my comments on MathForum,
and, some of my comments have been automatically
posted on some other Web sites in a chaotic way.
Notably, my original posting is missing on all
of the other Web sites, and it seems impossible
to find it with a Google search.
So, for everyone using the other Web sites,
it is useful that I give the Web page of MathForum
where my thread of comments on the ICM2010 starts,
and where everything is posted correctly.
My thread of comments starts on the following
Web page:
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=7137304&tstart=0
In this thread, everything is correctly posted,
except the format. I have terrible difficulties
with the change of format from my PC
to the previewer of MathForum, and a lot worse
than this, with the changes of format
from this previewer to the actual postings.
As a consequence, the lengths of the lines
of my postings are never normal.
=================================
There is a posting about the ICM2010
on the following Web page:
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=2255
This posting contains interesting guesses about
who has some chances to be awarded a Fields medal,
or one of the other prizes, on August 19, that is,
in six days.
This posting is named "Not Even Wrong powered
by WordPress." It was posted last year,
on August 27, 2009. There are 35 answers with
additional guesses about the possible winners,
posted from August 27, 2009 to October 8, 2009,
on the same Web page. This Web page says that
its discussion is now closed.
=================================
The abstracts of the plenary lectures, invited
lectures, and panel discussions, have now been
posted on the following Web page of the ICM2010:
http://www.icm2010.org.in/wp-content/icmfiles/abstracts/Invited-Abstracts.pdf
This pdf file has 139 pages of abstracts.
This gives a feeling of the huge size
of the congress.
=================================
The table of contents of this pdf file is posted
on pdf-file-page number 3. It is easy to miss
this table when the scrolling system goes
too fast.
The first four pages of the pdf file
are not numbered, so that
[pdf file page number]
= [Page number written on the page] + 4
= [Page number given in the table of contents] + 4
=================================
In my previous postings, I gave comments on several
of the lectures of the ICM2010, but I did not have
the abstracts for these lectures then. So, in this
posting, I give the information about the page
numbers in the above pdf file of the abstracts
of the lectures I have been talking about so far.
