    $\begingroup$ This is a really great answer, and dramatically subsumes anything I would write. A link that might help people: Some notes on the relation between Szpiro and ABC modular.math.washington.edu/mcs/archive/Fall2001/notes/12-10-01/… $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 7, 2012 at 18:37

    $\begingroup$ Dear Marty, Even though I'm grateful for the reference to my paper, it is a bit outdated. For a more recent (still incomplete) view of what my intentions really are, I would recommend the introduction to this paper: front.math.ucdavis.edu/1209.0640 $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 8, 2012 at 4:07

    $\begingroup$ By the way, I was preparing some kind of an answer to this question when I noticed it was closed. If you folks end up opening it again, maybe someone can let me know by email. My primitive knowledge of the internet hasn't extended to automatic notifications and the like. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 8, 2012 at 4:09

    $\begingroup$ Worth sharing this link: mathoverflow.net/questions/852/what-is-inter-universal-geometry in the slides linked in that question, there is background by mochizuki on 'interuniversal geometry' which he says is the correct context for viewing anabelian results of such a reconstructive nature. these slides are from 2009, so a few years before the IUT papers. might help in bridging the gap to the 2012 papers $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 19, 2017 at 5:32
