If we are to take M's account on faith, a lot of his work 2000-2010 was leading up to the IUT papers. None of these are disputed. From what I understand of Dupuy and Hilado's reading of Mochizuki, there are some interesting ideas about arithmetic geometry, especially if one takes their probabilistic version on board. As Scholze forcefully discussed on Woit's blog, the categorical stuff is less clear. But: I am not an expert in this area, just have paid close attention for ages! | |

| Aug 5, 2015 at 7:09 | comment | added | M.G. | @Timothy Chow: Thank you for your answer! I did read the/an article of Cipra, but apparently I read only the first one, with the very similar sounding title "Fermat' Theorem proved?". Because of the name, I did not realize there was actually a second article of Cipra on the same topic but discussing the aftermath (no pun intended). So, I guess, after all, the attack did have to do with the famous $c_1^2\leq 3c_2$ :) | |
