Jul 31, 2016 at 18:54 comment added Yemon Choi @StefanKohl +1 and thanks for that "project sophistication" line, regarding this question and some older ones concerning Grothendieck-ery.
Jul 31, 2016 at 11:01 comment added Stefan Kohl If you would like to ask a real question on Mochizuki's work (and not just one "designed to project sophistication", in the sense of Bill Thurston), then I think you need to be a lot more specific. Questions of the form "Has this-or-that work been verified?" are rather not suitable for MO, therefore I have voted to close as "unclear what you're asking".

Jul 31, 2016 at 5:56 comment added Vesselin Dimitrov @post.as.a.guest: It means exactly what you say, that IUT-III Cor. 3.12 has the stated implication. Actually that proposition is not just a result in Mochizuki's work: it is the entire output of IUT theory, with everything after it being rather straightforward estimates that are not that hard do check. This is why I just said "IUT implies...," as everything really amounts to III 3.12. That being said, I share your feelings about this. My point was to try to clarify what precisely Mochizuki's inequality is, and what kinds of consequences might emerge if the methods get understood.

Jul 30, 2016 at 2:03 comment added user40276 Probably nothing. I don't understand the point of these vague questions. If you want to know something about Mochizuki work ask a more specific question (something about the slides or the papers)
Jul 29, 2016 at 21:20 comment added Raphael J.F. Berger Also all slides of all talks from the conference are accessible from the conference website: maths.nottingham.ac.uk/personal/ibf/files/kyoto.iut.html some interesting comment by Ivan Fesenko is on his facebookpage (facebook.com/ivan.fesenko.37?fref=ts) and there are lots of comments on twitter mostly by Christelle Vincent and also by Taylor Dupuy (you might find them when you follow the link from OP).

Jul 29, 2016 at 15:18 comment added Raphael J.F. Berger Also they have recorded all talks on video, but they are not yet published, as far as I know.
Jul 29, 2016 at 15:10 comment added Raphael J.F. Berger I have asked a more specific question with a less specific flag (soft question) but it was closed mathoverflow.net/questions/243750/…

Jul 29, 2016 at 9:44 comment added post.as.a.guest As an aside, I am not entirely convinced (in Mochizuki's latest 115-page overview) of "alien copies" of structures corresponding by analogy to the traditional polar-coordinate evaluation of the Gaussian integral $I$ being equal to $\sqrt\pi$, as one gets $I^2=\pi$ therein, and an additional argument is needed to get the positive sign. Is this extra step available in the scheme-theoretic setting, with choices of units? The "justification of the naive approach" (1.7) makes it even more mysterious IMO, calling the answer $\sqrt\pi$ itself an error term!

Jul 29, 2016 at 4:23 comment added post.as.a.guest One could do worse than read all of Vincent's tweets. She at least gives some perspective of what occurred.
Jul 29, 2016 at 4:21 comment added post.as.a.guest In Dimitrov's talk, what does "IUT implies no Siegel zero at negative discriminants" precisely mean? Maybe "IUT-III Cor. 3.12" as quoted at some other point? In the given situation, I don't know if I would consider "Result X in Mochizuki's work" to be a reasonable starting point for further investigation. It's sort of like the economist assuming there is a can opener.
Jul 29, 2016 at 3:28 comment added Gerry Myerson maths.nottingham.ac.uk/personal/ibf/files/dimitrov.pdf is slides from a presentation by Vesselin Dimitrov, Notes on the $\epsilon$ part in the $abc$ conjecture (Including Siegel zeros and effectivity in IUT).
