Finiteness of odd perfect powers with four nonzero binary digits (Q2391391)

The main result of this work is: ``there are only finitely many odd perfect powers in \({\mathbb N}\) having precisely four nonzero digits in their binary expansion''. The proof combines several tools: consequences of the Subspace Theorem (concerning integer values of analytic series), a general version of Roth's theorem, Padé approxiamations in the 2-adic case and Baker's theory (lower bounds for linear forms in two logarithms in the archimedian and in the 2--adic cases).
