Difficult question “ABC conjecture” proved by Kyoto University professor

Difficult question "ABC conjecture" proved by Kyoto University professor Expert "historical achievement" April 3 15:39

Kyoto University has announced that a professor at the Institute for Mathematical Analysis has proved the ABC conjecture, a challenge that mathematicians around the world have been unable to solve for over 30 years. Experts say "it's an achievement in the history of mathematics."

"ABC conjecture" is a problem of the nature of integers proposed by European mathematicians, and many mathematicians have tried to prove it for over 30 years as clues to solving many unsolved problems in mathematics But no one has succeeded.

Prof. Shinichi Mochizuki (51) of the Institute for Mathematical Analysis at Kyoto University has written four papers that proved the ABC conjecture and has been published in a scientific journal specialized in mathematics, which is reviewed by multiple researchers. On 3rd, Kyoto University held a press conference and announced that Professor Mochizuki had proved ABC's conjecture.

These four papers proved the ABC conjecture using a new theory developed by Professor Mochizuki alone, published eight years ago on his homepage, and were being reviewed for scientific journals.

However, the dissertation was a long one, since it was an unusually long paper for mathematics, with a total of 600 pages, outside the framework of traditional mathematical concepts and theories.

During this time, some overseas researchers pointed out the correctness of the dissertation, and Prof. Mochizuki made several revisions to the dissertation, which led to this publication.

Professor Fumimoto Kato of Tokyo Institute of Technology, who specializes in this field, has stated that "This is a very original new dissertation that has been made in the history of mathematics once every hundred years."
