Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
A brilliant physicist and commanding mathematician.
Sir Michael Atiyah said of Witten, "Although he is definitely a physicist, his command of mathematics is rivaled by few mathematicians... Time and again he has surprised the mathematical community by a brilliant application of physical insight leading to new and deep mathematical theorems..." (sourced from wikipedia).

Regards, Rob.
