Terai's conjecture for primitive Pythagorean triples

From papers

Let (a,b,c)(a,b,c) be a primitive Pythagorean triple with

a2+b2=c2,a^2+b^2=c^2,

where a,b,cNa,b,c\in\mathbb{N}, gcd(a,b)=1\gcd(a,b)=1, and a0(mod2)a\equiv0\pmod{2}. Terai's conjecture. The equation

x2+by=czx^2+b^y=c^z

has only the solution (x,y,z)=(a,2,2)(x,y,z)=(a,2,2). The conjecture has been verified in several cases listed in the survey, but remains unresolved in general.
