Mordell's conjecture on Pell equation solutions for primes congruent to 3 modulo 4

About 6 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime congruent to 33 modulo 44, and let (x,y)(x,y) be a fundamental solution of the Pell equation

x2−py2=1.x^2-py^2=1.

Mordell's conjecture. The prime pp does not divide yy.

This conjecture concerns divisibility properties of the fundamental solution to Pell equations associated with primes congruent to 33 modulo 44. It was proved by Chakraborty, so the conjecture is solved.
