Szalay–Ziegler conjecture on S-Diophantine quadruples

Let SS be a finite set of primes. An SS-Diophantine quadruple is a tuple of four positive, pairwise distinct integers (a1,a2,a3,a4)(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4) such that

aiaj+1a_i a_j+1

is an SS-unit for every 1i<j41\leq i<j\leq 4. Let pp and qq be distinct primes, so that S={p,q}S=\{p,q\}.

Szalay–Ziegler conjecture. No {p,q}\{p,q\}-Diophantine quadruple exists.

The conjecture is motivated by partial nonexistence results under congruence and size restrictions, together with computer verification. The source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
