Arithmetic Berry Phase: A Conceptual Map of the abc Conjecture with Uniformity Barrier and Suggestive Holonomy Interpretation
Authors/Creators
Description
This paper presents a complete conceptual reduction of the abc conjecture
to a single uniformity barrier, together with a suggestive geometric
interpretation via "arithmetic Berry phase."
The trace E = log(c/rad(abc)) is identified as an arithmetic holonomy—
the unavoidable residual arising from the attempted gluing of additive
and multiplicative structures. We prove an elementary CRT-layer bound
on the powerful part P(c), localize potential exceptions to a single
arithmetic progression, and show that the uniformity property (UNIFORM)
is the sole barrier beyond elementary methods.
A five-line closure argument is provided: the negation of UNIFORM
produces infinitely many S-units in an arithmetic progression, which
contradicts Baker–Matveev lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms.
Appendix B records the "arithmetic Berry phase" interpretation—viewing E
as a holonomy of the non-commutative loop Add → Mult → Add—as a
suggestive perspective for future research. No new proof is claimed there.
This paper serves as the author's final statement on the abc conjecture.
The conceptual map is complete; further pursuit is left to others.
