 From the article by Pierre Cartier
  ``A MAD DAY’S WORK: FROM GROTHENDIECK TO CONNES AND KONTSEVICH
    THE EVOLUTION OF CONCEPTS OF SPACE AND SYMMETRY",

Cf.:
http://www.ams.org/bull/2001-38-04/S0273-0979-01-00913-2/home.html

this is a very good paper for many reasons

although connes' work is popular enough now
i find that kontsevich is still working on his own much
  and has a number of "huge" possibilities lurking

much of his stuff on operads
  and graph theory
  and combinatorial topology
is building some very powerful algebraic tools
which could potentially crack p = np among other big questions

Can you point to a sentence of Kontsevich related to
P = NP?
