Perfect-power conjecture for the plane partition function

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let pl(n)pl(n) denote the plane partition function, counting plane partitions of nn. A perfect power is an integer of the form aba^b with integers a,b>1a,b>1. The plane-partition perfect-power conjecture. The plane partition function pl(n)pl(n) is never a perfect power of the form aba^b for integers a,b>1a,b>1. This is proposed as an analogue of Sun's conjecture for plane partitions and remains open in the source.
