For $x,y\ge 2$ does $x^4+x^2y^2+y^4$ ever divide $x^4y^4+x^2y^2+1$?

For a problem in combinatorics, it comes down to knowing whether there exist integers $x,y\ge 2$ such that $$ x^4+x^2y^2+y^4\mid x^4y^4+x^2y^2+1. $$ Note that $x^6(x^2-y^2)(x^4+x^2y^2+y^4)+(x^2y^2-1 …

A geometric series equalling a power of an integer

The following problem cropped up whilst considering generalised quadrangles with a product structure, and it boils down to a simple number theoretic problem. Let $s$ be an integer greater than 2 and s …
