Integral Brauer-Manin obstructions for sums of two squares and a power (Q2854258)

The author investigates the role of the Brauer-Manin obstruction in studying the integral solutions \((x,y,z)\) of the equations NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx^2+ y^2+ z^k= m,\;\{k,m\}\subseteq\mathbb{Z},\;k\geq 2.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Let us list some of his results:NEWLINENEWLINE 1) The Brauer-Manin obstruction prevents the equations NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx^2+ y^2+ z^k= n^k,\;\{k,n\}\subseteq,\;k\geq 2,\;n=1\pmod 4\text{ for odd }kNEWLINE\]NEWLINE to satisfy ``strong approximation away from infinity''.NEWLINENEWLINE 2) Under the assumption of Bunyakovsky's conjecture on the representation of primes by integral polynomials one has NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\{x^2+ y^2+ z^p\mid (x,y,z)\in \mathbb{Z}^3\}= \mathbb{Z}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for \(p\in P\), where \(P\) stands for the set of the odd rational primes.NEWLINENEWLINE 3) The author describes necessary and under the assumption of much stronger Schinzel's hypothesis (H) sufficient conditions for solubility of the equations NEWLINE\[NEWLINEx^2+ y^2+ z^{p_1p_2}= m,\;\{p_1,p_2\}\subseteq P,\;p_1= p_2=1\pmod 4,\;m\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}.NEWLINE\]
