What changed

Signatories demand cancellation, criticising a race to generate results that transfers verification labour to the community, and questioning corporate involvement and the training of younger researchers.

RESEARCH NOTE

Research misconduct is the signatories' allegation, not an investigative finding. The event is planned to begin on 30 October and has not occurred. The letter does not represent all mathematicians.

Editorial research question

Editorial interpretation: records conflict between unpaid verification, unequal computing resources, student training and corporate sponsorship, while preserving organisers' differing position.

This is an editorial interpretation or question, separate from factual statements.
