Infinitude conjecture for cubic sums and fifth powers
Let be positive integers, and let each occurrence of the sign be chosen consistently. A solution is nontrivial in the sense intended by the Diophantine equation under consideration.
Infinitude conjecture. For each choice of the signs, the equation
has infinitely many nontrivial solutions in positive integers.
This conjecture is motivated by the authors' numerical search; the surrounding results establish analogous infinitude statements for some other exponents, but do not resolve the exponent case.
