Philosophical Perspectives on Inter-Universal Teichm¨uller Theory
Abstract:
Since the inception of Inter-Universal Teichm¨uller Theory (IUTT), much activity among the international mathematics community has been dedicated to gaining an understanding of IUTT and scrutinizing its proof of the Szpiro/abc/Vojta conjectures. Considerably less effort has been dedicated to developing a discourse on the theoretical contributions of IUTT itself and the new directions in which it takes Diophantine geometry. Thanks to the distribution of further expository work on IUTT in recent years, doing so is increasingly feasible. In what follows, we will consider implications of IUTT for the philosophy of mathematics.
We do so with two aims in mind. The first is to articulate key themes in IUTT as made intelligible against longstanding discursive threads in philosophy. Such themes should be accessible to a broader readership. The second is to effectuate advances in the philosophy of mathematics itself, which is often underdeveloped with respect to contemporary topics in number theory and Diophantine/arithmetic geometry. Given the absence of philosophical discourse on topics such as anabelian geometry, Diophantine geometry, and scheme theory, it will be necessary to present philosophical framings of mathematical precedents to IUTT in order to address IUTT itself. What is more, due to a poverty of available philosophical literature, we will draw upon concepts and discourses from theoretical computer science, the philosophy of physics, and analytic philosophy in order to anchor our discussions in discursive precedent.
