Genus 0 curves on surfaces and the abc conjecture
One of the most obvious methods to prove that a given Diophantine equation $P(x_1, \dots, x_n)=0$ has infinitely many integer solutions is to find polynomials $P_1, \dots, P_n$ in one variable $u$, ...

Small solutions of $x^2-a^3 y^2=\pm 1$
We are interested in small integer solutions to the Pell equation:
$$x^2-a^3 y^2=\pm 1 \qquad (1)$$
Where in $\pm 1$ you can chose either sign.
$(x^2,a^3 y^2)$ are consecutive powerful numbers.
$abc$ ...

Simple Diophantine equation
Are there any solutions in positive integers of
$x^3 + 1 = (x - k) y^3$?
The closest I can get is
$19^3 + 1 = 20 \times 7^3$,
but $20\gt 19$ so it just misses!
For the related
$x^3 - 1 = (x - k) y^3$,...

a b c triples with bounded prime factors
(i) For any fixed $B>0$, are there only finitely many triples $a,b,c$ of coprime positive integers, such that $a+b=c$ and all prime factors of $a,b,c$ are at most $B$?
(ii) For which $B$ all such ...

Is new $n$-conjecture as follows correct?
Given a positive integer $P>1$, let its prime factorization be written as$$P=p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}p_3^{a_3}\cdots p_k^{a_k}.$$
Define the functions $h(P)$ by $h(1)=1$ and $h(P)=\min(a_1, a_2,\ldots,...

On weaker forms of the abc conjecture from the theory of Hölder and logarithmic means
In this post (the content of this post is now cross-posted from Mathematics Stack Exchange see below) we denote the radical of an integer $n>1$ as the product of disctinct primes dividing it $$\...

On variants of the abc conjecture in terms of Lehmer means
In this post we denote the Lehmer mean of a tuple $\text{x}$ of positive real numbers as $$L_p(\text{x})={\sum_{k=1}^nx_k^p\over\sum_{k=1}^nx_k^{p-1}},$$
see the reference Wikipedia Lehmer mean.

How small can $u$ be in the Pell equation $u^2-k^3 v^2=\pm 1$?
Let $k$ be positive integer, not a square and let $u_k,v_k$ be non-trivial
solutions to the Pell equation $u_k^2-k^3 v_k^2=\pm 1$.
Q1 How small $u_k$ can be infinitely often as function $k$?
This ...

Large radical of an integer and three AB conjectures
In this Note, We propose a new definition called "large radical of an integer". Using this definition, three very useful $AB$ conjecture are given.
1. Large counter examples of the ABC conjecture

A generalization of Lander, Parkin, and Selfridge conjecture
My question: Are the conjectures as follows correct?
Given a positive integer $P>1$, let its prime factorization be written
$$P=p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}p_3^{a_3}...p_k^{a_k}$$.
Define the ...
