Questions where prime numbers play a key-role, such as: questions on the distribution of prime numbers (twin primes, gaps between primes, Hardy–Littlewood conjectures, etc); questions on prime numbers with special properties (Wieferich prime, Wolstenholme prime, etc.). This tag is often used as a specialized tag in combination with the top-level tag nt.number-theory and (if applicable) analytic-number-theory.

Small $|2^x 3^y - 5^z 7^t|$ and generalization

Baker's theorem implies that $$ |\log (A/B)| = |\sum e_i \log p_i - \sum f_j \log q_j| > \max (e_i, f_j)^{-C} $$ where $C$ depends only on $\{p_i\}, \{q_j\}$. Since $A \leq \left( \prod p_i \right) …
