Faltings' manuscript is only 40 pages, which according to Artin, is unusually concise for a through mathematical proof. As a result the mathematicians had to go back to Faltings' original sources to double check the professor's work. But after the meetings, all the mathematicians agreed that Faltings' work is "strikingly foolproof." David Kazhdan, Professor of Mathematics said last week...
...Artin said Faltings' findings pushed his own work back a month because he "put everything aside to read this manuscript...
