The six-exception conjecture for prime-base exponential Diophantine equations
The six-exception conjecture for prime-base exponential Diophantine equations
Let be the set of positive rational primes, and let denote the number of positive integer solutions of
where , , and the three primes are distinct. The six-exception conjecture. We have , except for the following cases: (i) , with and ; (ii) , with and ; (iii) , with and ; (iv) , with and ; (v) , with , , and ; (vi) , with and . This conjecture has been restated and proven, so it is now a theorem.
