TL;DR

This week we have a short post covering a few interesting posts around the web including potential progress towards resolving issues in Mochizuki’s claimed proof of the ABC conjecture

Progress Towards the ABC-Conjecture?

A new paper sketch by Kirti Joshi (https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.11635) claims to resolve objections raised by Scholze and Stix (https://www.math.uni-bonn.de/people/scholze/WhyABCisStillaConjecture.pdf) about Mochizuki’s claimed proof of the ABC-conjecture. While the work has not yet been peer reviewed, if confirmed, it could potentially resolve the issues in Mochizuki’s proof. Joshi has yet to release a follow-up paper that contains more details so it may be some time before the mathematical community forms a solid opinion.

Is this suggesting (claiming?) an independent proof (building upon the ideas of Mochizuki) of the ABC conjecture? arxiv.org/abs/2210.11635

Have you ever tried to tune the frequency of a sinusoid by gradient descent? It's harder than you might think. But we came up with a solution! Read on to find out more. 📝 paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2210.14476… \begin{thread}
