The abc-conjecture for a number field

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let KK be a number field. For x∈K×x\in K^\times, define its height by h⁡(x)\operatorname{h}(x) and its conductor by

cond⁡(x)=d−1∑∣x∣v<1log⁡Nv.\operatorname{cond}(x)=d^{-1}\sum_{|x|_v<1}\log\mathcal{N}v.

The abc-conjecture for a number field. For every κ>1\kappa>1 and every x∈Kx\in K distinct from 00 and 11,

h⁡(x)≤κ(cond⁡(x)+cond⁡(x−1)+cond⁡(x−1))+O(1),\operatorname{h}(x)\le \kappa\bigl(\operatorname{cond}(x)+\operatorname{cond}(x^{-1})+\operatorname{cond}(x-1)\bigr)+O(1),

where O(1)O(1) depends on κ\kappa and KK. This is the number-field form of the abc-conjecture, originally stated in this form by Vojta and related to the Masser–Oesterlé conjecture.
