Despite multiple conferences dedicated to explicating Mochizuki’s proof, number theorists have struggled to come to grips with its underlying ideas. His series of papers, which total more than 500 ...

Wikipedia – The abc conjecture (also known as Oesterlé–Masser conjecture) is a conjecture in number theory, first proposed by Joseph Oesterlé (1988) and David Masser (1985) as an integer analogue of ...

Earlier this month the math world turned toward the University of Oxford, looking for signs of progress on a mystery that has gripped the community for three years. Within days it was clear that ...

Whenever a major leap is made in pure mathematics, the question always leads to "Cool, but what does this mean for me?" Here's what you want to know. Shinichi Mochizuki is a number theorist at Kyoto ...
