The uniqueness conjecture for extending Diophantine triples

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let {a,b,c,d}\{a,b,c,d\} be a Diophantine quadruple of integers, and suppose that

d>max⁡{a,b,c}.d>\max\{a,b,c\}.

Define

d+=a+b+c+2(abc+(ab+1)(ac+1)(bc+1)).d_{+}=a+b+c+2\left(abc+\sqrt{(ab+1)(ac+1)(bc+1)}\right).

Uniqueness conjecture for extensions. Then

d=d+=a+b+c+2(abc+(ab+1)(ac+1)(bc+1)).d=d_{+}=a+b+c+2\left(abc+\sqrt{(ab+1)(ac+1)(bc+1)}\right).

This is presented as the stronger version of the folklore conjecture that every Diophantine triple can be extended to a quadruple with a larger element in a unique way. The source states that this stronger conjecture remains open.
