Is $x^2+x+1$ ever a perfect power?
Your equation can be rewritten as
$$\frac{x^{3}-1}{x-1} = y^{N}.$$
As Gerhard Paseman commented above, the Diophantine equation
$$ \frac{x^{n} − 1}{x-1} = y^{q} \quad x > 1, \quad y>1, \quad n>2 \quad …

Question on a crucial lemma in Euler's approach to Fermat's Last Theorem for $n=3$
As many of you may know, the illustrious L. Euler put forward a proof of the case $n=3$ of Fermat's Last Theorem via infinite descent. The thing is that, at a certain point, he resorted to the follo …

Fermat's Last Theorem in finite fields
It is more or less easy to obtain, via exponential sums, an asymptotic formula for the number $J$ of solutions of the congruence
$$x^{n}+y^{n} \equiv z^{n} \pmod{p}$$
where $$1 \leq x, y, z \leq p- …
