Why abc is still a conjecture

  title={Why abc is still a conjecture},
  author={Peter Scholze},
  year={2018}
}
In March 2018, the authors spent a week in Kyoto at RIMS of intense and constructive discussions with Prof. Mochizuki and Prof. Hoshi about the suggested proof of the abc conjecture. We thank our hosts for their hospitality and generosity which made this week very special. We, the authors of this note, came to the conclusion that there is no proof. We are going to explain where, in our opinion, the suggested proof has a problem, a problem so severe that in our opinion small modifications will…

On the $abc$ Conjecture in Algebraic Number Fields
While currently the abc conjecture and work towards it remains open or is disputed [22], at the same time much work has been done on weaker versions, as well as on its generalisation to number…
The Statement of Mochizuki's Corollary 3.12, Initial Theta Data, and the First Two Indeterminacies
This paper does not give a proof of Mochizuki's Corollary 3.12. It is the first in a series of three papers concerning Mochizuki's Inequalities. The present paper concerns the setup of Corollary 3.12…
COMMENTS ON THE MANUSCRIPT BY SCHOLZE-STIX CONCERNING INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMÜLLER THEORY (IUTCH)
(C1) Title, first two paragraphs, and §1: It is interesting to note that here, explicit mention is made of the ABC Conjecture, but not of IUTch. Although very strong assertions are made in the title…
A Replication Crisis in Mathematics?
Seeing how mathematics was developing as a science, I understood that the time is approaching when the proof of yet another conjecture will change little. I understood that mathematics is facing a…
Probabilistic Szpiro, Baby Szpiro, and Explicit Szpiro from Mochizuki's Corollary 3.12
In \cite{Dupuy2020a} we gave some explicit formulas for the "indeterminacies" Ind1,Ind2,Ind3 in Mochizuki's Inequality as well as a new presentation of initial theta data. In the present paper we use…
Jury Theorems for Peer Review
Peer review is often taken to be the main form of quality control on academic writings. Usually this is carried out by journals. Parts of math and physics appear to have now set up a parallel,…
COMMENTS ON THE MANUSCRIPT (2018-08 VERSION) BY SCHOLZE-STIX CONCERNING INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMÜLLER THEORY (IUTCH)
In the following, we make various additional Comments concerning the August 2018 version of the manuscript [SS2018-08] by Scholze-Stix (SS), to supplement the comments made in [Cmt2018-05] concerning…

We describe various errors in the mathematical literature, and consider how some of them might have been avoided, or at least detected at an earlier stage, using tools such as Maple or Sage. Our…
A Proof Of The ABC Conjecture.
In this article, its shown that the ABC Conjecture is correct for integers a+b=c, and any real number r>1. This article proposes that the ABC Conjecture is true iff: c>0.
The Arithmetic Partial Derivative
The arithmetic partial derivative (with respect to a prime p) is a function from the set of integers that sends p to 1 and satisfies the Leibniz rule. In this paper, we prove that the p-adic…

We combine various well-known techniques from the theory of heights, the theory of “noncritical Belyi maps”, and classical analytic number theory to conclude that the “ABC Conjecture”, or,…

We develop the theory of Frobenioids associated to non-archimedean (mixed-characteristic) and archimedean local fields. Inparticular, we show that the resulting Frobenioids satisfy the properties…
