Abstract: We investigate the solvability of the Diophantine equation in the title, where $d>1$ is a square-free integer, $p,q$ are distinct odd primes and $x,y,a,b$ are unknown positive integers with $gcd(x,y)=1$. We describe all the integer solutions of this equation, and then use the main finding to deduce some results concerning the integers solutions of some of its variants. The methods adopted here are elementary in nature and are primarily based on the existence of the primitive divisors of certain Lehmer numbers.

Review text

The authors describe all the integer solutions of the Diophantine equation \(dx^2 + p^{2a}q^{2b} = 4y^p\), where \(d > 1\) is a square-free integer, \(p, q\) are distinct odd primes, \(\gcd(p,h(-d))=1\), and \(x, y, a, b\) are unknown positive integers with \(\gcd(x, y) = 1\) (Theorem 1.1). Here \(h(-d)\) denotes the class number of \(\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-d})\). The proof is primarily based on the existence of the primitive divisors of certain Lehmer numbers. Theorem 1.1 is a variant of the results obtained in [\textit{A. Dąbrowski} et al., J. Number Theory 215, 149--159 (2020; Zbl 1461.11051); \textit{K. Chakraborty} et al., Result. Math. 76, No. 2, Paper No. 57, 13 p. (2021; Zbl 1480.11039)].
