On the abc$abc$ conjecture in algebraic number fields



Abstract: While currently the abc conjecture and work towards it remains open or is disputed, at the same time much work has been done on weaker versions, as well as on its generalisation to number fields. Given integers satisfying a+b=c, Stewart and Yu were able to give an exponential bound for max(a,,b,,c) in terms of the radical over the integers, while Gy"{o}ry was able to give an exponential bound in the algebraic number field case for the projective height HK(a,,b,,c) in terms of the radical for algebraic numbers. We generalise Stewart and Yu's method to give an improvement on Gy"{o}ry's bound for algebraic integers. Finally, we will give an application to the effective Skolem-Mahler-Lech problem. Of importance is to note that, given some conditions, we obtain a sub-exponential bound for logHL(a,,b,,c). We use these results to give an improvement on a result by Lagarias and Soundararajan. At the final stages of preparation, we were made aware that a similar result to our main theorem has been obtained independently by Gy"ory, using different methods.
