On the Diophantine equation \(x^2+b^m=c^n\) with \(a^2+b^4=c^2\) (Q2124837): Difference between revisions

The paper under review concerns a problem about exponential Diophantine equations. More precisely, let \(a, b\) and \(c\) be pairwise relatively prime positive integers such that \(a^2+b^4=c^2\) and \(b\) is odd. Under some conditions, the main result of the paper is that the Diophantine equation \(x^2+b^m=c^n\) has only one positive integer solution triple \((x, m, n)=(a, 4, 2)\). One of the interesting problems in number theory which remains open is the Jeśmanowicz' Conjecture. Variations of this conjecture are widely studied. The motivation of the paper is coming from an analogue of Jeśmanowicz' Conjecture. The author proposed another similar conjecture and he verified the conjecture in a fixed range with the Magma Computational Algebra System. The proof is split into cases and based on calculations and a series of lemmas.
