It had surprised me that it was taking him unusually long to get this written up, but now comes news from Anton Kapustin (via <a href=\"http:\/\/motls.blogspot.com\/2006\/01\/s-duality-and-exceptional-groups.html\">Lubos<\/a>) that Witten is working on a document 3-400 pages long.  This length would certainly explain why it is taking longer than usual, and surely the end result will be something quite interesting.  The Kapustin rumor also claims that whatever this 300-400 page thing is that Witten is working on, it&#8217;s not a paper.
