Dear Friends and Colleagues,

a proof of the Perfect Graph Theorem was recently announced by a group of four mathematicians including our colleague Neil Robertson. An article on the proof appeared in the July 5th edition of Science:

Congratulations to Neil and co-workers Maria Chudnovsky, Paul Seymour and Robin Thomas on this nifty recognition of their work.

Best,

Peter
