Subject: Annals of Math: Submission - Bar-Natan and Van der Veen


      Dear Professors Bar-Natan and Van der Veen,

      Thank you for submitting your paper, "A fast, strong, topologically meaningful
      and fun knot invariant,"to the Annals of Mathematics. We are sorry to say that,
      on account of the opinions that we've received, we cannot go ahead with your
      paper for the Annals. The nature of the reporting was such that there are no
      details to share. We wish you success in placing your work elsewhere.


      Sincerely,

      The Editors
      Annals of Mathematics
