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 ...

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 ...

In August 2012, Shinichi Mochizuki, Japanese mathematician from Kyoto University’s Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, posted four papers on his website that claimed to contain a proof of ...

A Japanese mathematician claims to have the proof for the ABC conjecture, a statement about the relationship between prime numbers that has been called the most important unsolved problem in number ...

It is a mathematical epic five years in the making. In 2012, Shinichi Mochizuki at Kyoto University in Japan produced a proof of a long standing problem called the ABC conjecture, but no one could ...

We present a numerical method for finding extreme examples of identities related to the uniform abc-conjecture for algebraic number fields. Journal Information This journal, begun in 1943 as ...

This summer, the international mathematical community was abuzz with rumours that a proof of the famous "abc conjecture", a key problem in number theory, had been found. Then, early this month, and ...

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 ...

After a saga eight years in the making, a mathematician is finally set to formally publish a proof that rocked number theory and baffled almost everyone who read it – including other mathematicians.
