| Nov 14, 2022 at 20:57 | comment | added | Sidharth Ghoshal | I reached out to him: "Volume 10 is almost done, It will be submitted soon" - RL | |
| Nov 14, 2022 at 11:21 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @SidharthGhoshal since you seem to have a direct line, is it possible to find out where volume 10 is up to? That is, has it been submitted, as projected? | |

| Jun 16, 2021 at 5:08 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @frogeyedpeas and, amazingly, I noticed the other day Volume 9 on the shelf in the library! (Along with some, but not all, of the other volumes.) | |

| Feb 25, 2021 at 20:57 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @frogeyedpeas thanks, but that seems like he's keeping his cards close to his chest :-). I was interested in estimates of future content, but of course Lyons is free to keep it quiet if he so chooses. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 20:53 | comment | added | Sidharth Ghoshal | his response: "I see that Timothy Chow has edited a previous answer by David Roberts and brought it up to date as well as I could. Volume 9 is just published or just about to be published -- the AMS is advertising it. It is the volume in which the Monster, the Baby Monster, the big Conway group Co_1, and the three other Fischer groups emerge from the analysis. It also has a new co-author, Inna Capdeboscq. " | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 6:28 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @frogeyedpeas do you think you could get an update on the estimate on the number of volumes? I think it's surely 13 or 14 minimum by this point, based on comments in the description of Volume 9 and the Notices article mentioned in my answer. | |
| Jan 10, 2018 at 23:53 | comment | added | Sidharth Ghoshal | I emailed professor Lyons about this post, maybe he could regularly update this or link to a spot where one can gather regular updates. He has retired recently and was then committing all his energies to the revisions last I spoke with him. | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 4:52 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @FriederLadisch Thanks! The article is Researchers Race to Rescue the Enormous Theorem before Its Giant Proof Vanishes by Stephen Ornes (doi:10.1038/scientificamerican0715-68). I quote: "Solomon and Lyons are finishing the seventh book this summer, and a small band of mathematicians have already made inroads into the eighth and ninth. Solomon estimates that the streamlined proof will eventually take up 10 or 11 volumes, which means that just more than half of the revised proof has been published." So I guess that book 7 should be done, but presumably submitted somewhere? | |
| Oct 4, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | Frieder Ladisch | Scientific American had a popular article on this topic in its July 2015 issue (Vol 313, No. 1). German version in Spektrum der Wissenschaft, März 2016. | |

| Feb 15, 2014 at 3:53 | comment | added | Steve D | unfortunately, no. Book 7 should be out by now, but I haven't heard anything about an upcoming release. | |

| Nov 30, 2012 at 1:27 | comment | added | Steve D | I asked this on the group-pub about a year ago, and I received the following email from Mark Lewis (forwarded from Ron Solomon): Richard and I HOPE to complete Book 7 by the end of 2012. Richard, Inna Capdeboscq and I have a lot of work completed on Book 8 as well. We might be able to complete it in one to 1 1/2 years after the completion of Book 7. That still leaves Books 9, 10, and 11. (The current best estimate is 11 total.) Gernot Stroth has a first draft of Book 11 written. Some work has been done on Book 9, but I would not hazard a guess on when that will see the light of day. | |
