Fermat–Catalan's conjecture for generalized Fermat equations

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let p,q,rp,q,r be positive integers, and call a solution (α,β,γ)(\alpha,\beta,\gamma) of xp+yq=zrx^p+y^q=z^r primitive when gcd⁡(α,β,γ)=1\gcd(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)=1. Fermat–Catalan's conjecture. For any triple of exponents (p,q,r)(p,q,r) satisfying

1p+1q+1r<1,\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{r}<1,

the set of primitive solutions (α,β,γ)(\alpha,\beta,\gamma) of

xp+yq=zrx^p+y^q=z^r

is finite. This is a finiteness conjecture for primitive solutions of generalized Fermat equations and is presented in the source as closely related to Beal's conjecture. Its status is not specified in the supplied text.
