From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Professor Martin J. Dunwoody (born November 3, 1938) is professor of mathematics at the University of Southampton, England. Dunwoody is working on geometric group theory and low-dimensional topology.

He received some public attention as he claimed to have a proof for one of the Millennium Prize Problems, the Poincaré conjecture, on April 7, 2002, but he had to admit a gap in the proof five days later.
