Solitary powers conjecture in quadratic integer rings
Let be the set of parameters defining the quadratic integer rings under consideration, let , let be an integer prime, and let and be positive integers. An element is -powerfully solitary if it has no distinct -powerful friend in . For a prime in , write for its conjugate.
Solitary powers conjecture. The element is -powerfully solitary in for every positive integer . More strongly, is necessarily -powerfully solitary in whenever .
Parts of this conjecture are resolved by part (e) of Theorem 2.2 and Theorem 3.2, but the statement is not resolved in full in the source.
