May 19, 2015 at 10:09 comment added darya Thanks everyone for your help. Also I think if p^2+p+1=3q^a, where q and p are primes, then a=1. Is it true?

May 19, 2015 at 0:55 comment added GH from MO @knsam: Having a full copy of the book would be wonderful. Having the relevant pages on Nagell-Ljunggren only (pp.110-) would be great, too! Thanks for your efforts.
May 19, 2015 at 0:38 comment added Geoff Robinson Yes, actually Ho notes at the end of his paper that his Theorem A is covered by Ljunggren's work.
May 19, 2015 at 0:29 comment added knsam One of the perks of being here at Queen's is that I have access to Prof. Paulo Ribenboim's remarkable collection of mathematical papers and books. I will see if I can access a copy of the book and post here tomorrow. :-)
May 19, 2015 at 0:03 comment added GH from MO @knsam: Thank you, especially for the scan of Ljunggren's paper. In fact I emphasized the case $m=2$ in my earlier related post (mathoverflow.net/questions/177952/…), and the linked paper by Bugeaud and Mihailescu mentions other solved cases (by Nagell-Ljunggren) as well. BTW I would love to read a complete account of these results in English. Under my other MO response I linked here, it was remarked that Ribenboim's book about Catalan's conjecture discusses some cases in detail (starting with page 110), but I don't have access to this book.
May 18, 2015 at 23:55 comment added knsam Just wanted to point out that Ljunggren's first part of the paper you refer to also solves the case $m = 2$ completely too. There was a recent question about this here on MO and I posted there a scan of the paper you cite.
