"Moral realism" is weirder. It seems to claim that, in the world of all moral claims, some are true and some are false. But since there are no universally compelling arguments, we don't know - we can't know - if we ourselves are even capable of recognizing, or being convinced by, the true moral claims if we were to encounter them.

Do you believe there are no universally compelling arguments in maths, etc?

Yes. With extremely high confidence, since it's a logical argument, not an empirical fact.
