User:MarkH21/Infobox mathematical statement
 For compact 2-dimensional surfaces without boundary, if every loop can be continuously tightened to a point, then the surface is topologically homeomorphic to a 2-sphere (usually just called a sphere). The Poincaré conjecture, proved by Grigori Perelman, asserts that the same is true for 3-dimensional spaces. | |

Parameters[edit]
All parameters are optional.

conjectured date- Date(s) of when the statement was first posed.
open problem- Is this an open problem? Typical values are
YesorNo, though something more specific could be put here (e.g.Only one example known, etc.) first proof by- Name of person(s) who first proved the statement.
first proof date- Date(s) of when the statement was first proven.
implied by- Statement(s) that imply the current one.
generalizations- Statement(s) that generalize the current one.
