DESCRIPTION:The ABC Conjecture\, formulated in the mid-1980’s by Oesterl
 é and Masser\, is one of the most important conjectures in number theory.
  It has many deep consequences\, but its basic formulation can be given in
  entirely elementary terms.  In September 2012\, a 500-page solution was a
 nnounced by Shinichi Mochizuki (building on several thousand pages of work
  that he has carried out over the last 20 years). I will discuss what the 
 conjecture asserts\, some evidence that supports it\, a few of its consequ
 ences\, and some more recent developments.\n\nThe talk will be followed by
  a wine reception in the central core.\n
