Diophantine equations are polynomial equations $F=0$, or systems of polynomial equations $F_1=\ldots=F_k=0$, where $F,F_1,\ldots,F_k$ are polynomials in either $\mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ of $\mathbb{Q}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ of which it is asked to find solutions over $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Q}$. Topics: Pell equations, quadratic forms, elliptic curves, abelian varieties, hyperelliptic curves, Thue equations, normic forms, K3 surfaces ...

Hi, There is no claim in my cv or elsewhere that me and Sander have solved the equation x^3+y^5+z^7=0. All my cv claims is that we're writing a paper on it! That's not the same thing. All the best, …

Special Case of famous Equation

This kind of problem usually requires a little algebraic number theory. Joe Silverman sketches one possible approach in the comments. Here is another. Let's rewrite as $$ (2y)^2-5^n=-1. $$ If $n$ is e …
