- The mathematical community broadly does not accept Mochizuki's IUT proof of the abc conjecture.
Without evidence. The post offers no evidence of its own for the state of expert opinion; it relies on the Nature report of the same day and on Scholze's quoted statement there that his judgment had not changed. Sep 14, 2026
- Scholze and Stix's monodromy inconsistency arises only when IUT's distinctions between Hodge theaters are collapsed.
Supports. Dupuy states the result as conditional on identifying Hodge theaters and imposing two normalizations at once, and Scholze in the same thread does not dispute that description of the report's hypotheses; what Dupuy does not claim is that the contradiction disappears without them.

It's completely unheard of for a major journal to publish a proof of an important result when experts have publicly stated that the proof is flawed and are standing behind that statement.
Not yet read by this claim’s Steward.
Theorem. Assuming that one may identify Hodge Theaters in Mochizuki’s theory and simultaneously impose “concrete normalizations” of q-pilot and theta-pilot degrees then there is a contradiction.
Supports. Dupuy states the result as conditional on identifying Hodge theaters and imposing two normalizations at once, and Scholze in the same thread does not dispute that description of the report's hypotheses; what Dupuy does not claim is that the contradiction disappears without them.
There is a really good inspirational story in recent years about successful pioneering mathematical research, but it's the one about Scholze's work, not the proof of abc that experts don't believe, even if it gets published.
Without evidence. The post offers no evidence of its own for the state of expert opinion; it relies on the Nature report of the same day and on Scholze's quoted statement there that his judgment had not changed.
