A Difference Of Squares: A Sudoku Masterpiece

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
An absolutely stunning debut on the channel today for MathGuy_12 (whose birthday it is) and his puzzle Difference Of Squares. We shouldn't say too much about why this is so incredibly brilliant but take our word for it... if we ever make another book, this needs to be in it.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in cages sum to the expression or value in the top left corner. X and Y are positive integers such that X is greater than Y. Digits may repeat within cages if allowed by other rules. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle. Purple lines are “renban” lines. A renban line is a collection of consecutive non-repeating digits arranged in any order.
