Abstract
We argue that several apparently distinct responses to the hole argument, all invoking formal or mathematical considerations, should be viewed as a unified "mathematical response". We then consider and rebut two prominent critiques of the mathematical response before reflecting on what is ultimately at issue in this literature.
