Abstract: We show that the Diophantine pair $1,3$ can not be extended to a Diophantine quintuple in $mathbbZleft[sqrt-2ight]$. This result completes the work of the first author and establishes non-extensibility of the Diophantine pair $1,3$ to a Diophantine quintuple in $mathbbZleft[sqrt-dight]$ for all $dinmathbbN$.

Review text

The authors prove that the set \(\{1,3\}\) cannot be extended to a Diphantine quintuple in the ring \({\mathbb Z}[\sqrt{-2}]\). This result makes complete an earlier theorem of the first author, concerning the rings \({\mathbb Z}[\sqrt{-d}]\), where \(d\) is a positive square-free integer. In their proofs the authors combine results of Dujella and Pethő concerning systems of Pell equations, a theorem of Bennett on simultaneous approximations of square roots of rationals and Baker's method.
