It is a mathematical epic five years in the making. In 2012, Shinichi Mochizuki at Kyoto University in Japan produced a proof of a long standing problem called the ABC conjecture, but no one could understand it.
Now the proof may soon be accepted for publication in a mathematical journal, which should be the end of the story – but it isn’t. Not only is the journal produced by his own university, but Mochizuki is the editor-in-chief, which could be seen as a conflict of interest.
