The abc conjecture (also known as the Oesterlé–Masser conjecture) is a conjecture in number theory that arose out of a discussion of Joseph Oesterlé and David Masser in 1985. It is stated in terms of three positive integers

a, b and c (hence the name) that are relatively prime and satisfy a + b = c . The conjecture essentially states that the product of the distinct prime factors of abc is usually not much smaller than c . A number of famous conjectures and theorems in number theory would follow immediately from the abc conjecture or its versions. Mathematician Dorian Goldfeld described the abc conjecture as "The most important unsolved problem in Diophantine analysis".

The abc conjecture originated as the outcome of attempts by Oesterlé and Masser to understand the Szpiro conjecture about elliptic curves,^[1] which involves more geometric structures in its statement than the abc conjecture. The abc conjecture was shown to be equivalent to the modified Szpiro's conjecture.

Various attempts to prove the abc conjecture have been made, but none have gained broad acceptance. Shinichi Mochizuki claimed to have a proof in 2012, but the conjecture is still regarded as unproven by the mainstream mathematical community.^{[2] [3] [4]}

Formulations

Before stating the conjecture, the notion of the radical of an integer must be introduced: for a positive integer

n , the radical of n , denoted rad (n) , is the product of the distinct prime factors of n . For example,rad ( 16 ) = rad ( 2 ^{4)=rad(2)=2} rad ( 17 ) =17 rad ( 18 ) = rad ( 2 ⋅ 3 ^{2)=2 ⋅ 3} =6 rad ( 1000000 ) = rad ( 2 ^{6} ⋅ 5 ^{6)=2 ⋅ 5=10}

If a, b, and c are coprime^[5] positive integers such that a + b = c, it turns out that "usually"

c< rad (abc) . The abc conjecture deals with the exceptions. Specifically, it states that:

An equivalent formulation is:

Equivalently (using the little o notation):

A fourth equivalent formulation of the conjecture involves the quality q(a, b, c) of the triple (a, b, c), which is defined as

For example:

A typical triple (a, b, c) of coprime positive integers with a + b = c will have c < rad(abc), i.e. q(a, b, c) < 1. Triples with q > 1 such as in the second example are rather special, they consist of numbers divisible by high powers of small prime numbers. The fourth formulation is:

Whereas it is known that there are infinitely many triples (a, b, c) of coprime positive integers with a + b = c such that q(a, b, c) > 1, the conjecture predicts that only finitely many of those have q > 1.01 or q > 1.001 or even q > 1.0001, etc. In particular, if the conjecture is true, then there must exist a triple (a, b, c) that achieves the maximal possible quality q(a, b, c).

Examples of triples with small radical

The condition that ε > 0 is necessary as there exist infinitely many triples a, b, c with c > rad(abc). For example, let

The integer b is divisible by 9:

Using this fact, the following calculation is made:

By replacing the exponent 6n with other exponents forcing b to have larger square factors, the ratio between the radical and c can be made arbitrarily small. Specifically, let p > 2 be a prime and consider

Now it may be plausibly claimed that b is divisible by p²:

The last step uses the fact that p² divides 2^p(p−1) − 1. This follows from Fermat's little theorem, which shows that, for p > 2, 2^p−1 = pk + 1 for some integer k. Raising both sides to the power of p then shows that 2^p(p−1) = p²(...) + 1.

And now with a similar calculation as above, the following results:

A list of the highest-quality triples (triples with a particularly small radical relative to c) is given below; the highest quality, 1.6299, was found by Eric Reyssat for

Some consequences

The abc conjecture has a large number of consequences. These include both known results (some of which have been proven separately only since the conjecture has been stated) and conjectures for which it gives a conditional proof. The consequences include:

• Roth's theorem on Diophantine approximation of algebraic numbers.
• The Mordell conjecture (already proven in general by Gerd Faltings).
• As equivalent, Vojta's conjecture in dimension 1.
• The Erdős–Woods conjecture allowing for a finite number of counterexamples.
• The existence of infinitely many non-Wieferich primes in every base b > 1.
• The weak form of Marshall Hall's conjecture on the separation between squares and cubes of integers.
• Fermat's Last Theorem has a famously difficult proof by Andrew Wiles. However it follows easily, at least for

n \ge 6 , from an effective form of a weak version of the abc conjecture. The abc conjecture says the lim sup of the set of all qualities (defined above) is 1, which implies the much weaker assertion that there is a finite upper bound for qualities. The conjecture that 2 is such an upper bound suffices for a very short proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for n \ge 6 .^[6]

• The Fermat–Catalan conjecture, a generalization of Fermat's Last Theorem concerning powers that are sums of powers.
• The L-function L(s, χ_d) formed with the Legendre symbol, has no Siegel zero, given a uniform version of the abc conjecture in number fields, not just the abc conjecture as formulated above for rational integers.
• A polynomial P(x) has only finitely many perfect powers for all integers x if P has at least three simple zeros.^[7]
• A generalization of Tijdeman's theorem concerning the number of solutions of y^m = xⁿ + k (Tijdeman's theorem answers the case k = 1), and Pillai's conjecture (1931) concerning the number of solutions of Ay^m = Bxⁿ + k.
• As equivalent, the Granville–Langevin conjecture, that if f is a square-free binary form of degree n > 2, then for every real β > 2 there is a constant C(f, β) such that for all coprime integers x, y, the radical of f(x, y) exceeds C · max

,

y

^n−β.

• all the polynominals (x^n-1)/(x-1) have an infinity of square-free values.
• As equivalent, the modified Szpiro conjecture, which would yield a bound of rad(abc)^1.2+ε.
• has shown that the abc conjecture implies that the Diophantine equation n! + A = k² has only finitely many solutions for any given integer A.
• There are ~c_fN positive integers n ≤ N for which f(n)/B' is square-free, with c_f > 0 a positive constant defined as:
• The Beal conjecture, a generalization of Fermat's Last Theorem proposing that if A, B, C, x, y, and z are positive integers with A^x + B^y = C^z and x, y, z > 2, then A, B, and C have a common prime factor. The abc conjecture would imply that there are only finitely many counterexamples.
• Lang's conjecture, a lower bound for the height of a non-torsion rational point of an elliptic curve.
• A negative solution to the Erdős–Ulam problem on dense sets of Euclidean points with rational distances.
• An effective version of Siegel's theorem about integral points on algebraic curves.^[8]

Theoretical results

The abc conjecture implies that c can be bounded above by a near-linear function of the radical of abc. Bounds are known that are exponential. Specifically, the following bounds have been proven:

In these bounds, K₁ and K₃ are constants that do not depend on a, b, or c, and K₂ is a constant that depends on ε (in an effectively computable way) but not on a, b, or c. The bounds apply to any triple for which c > 2.

There are also theoretical results that provide a lower bound on the best possible form of the abc conjecture. In particular, showed that there are infinitely many triples (a, b, c) of coprime integers with a + b = c and

for all k < 4. The constant k was improved to k = 6.068 by .

Computational results

In 2006, the Mathematics Department of Leiden University in the Netherlands, together with the Dutch Kennislink science institute, launched the ABC@Home project, a grid computing system, which aims to discover additional triples a, b, c with rad(abc) < c. Although no finite set of examples or counterexamples can resolve the abc conjecture, it is hoped that patterns in the triples discovered by this project will lead to insights about the conjecture and about number theory more generally.

Refined forms, generalizations and related statements

The abc conjecture is an integer analogue of the Mason–Stothers theorem for polynomials.

A strengthening, proposed by, states that in the abc conjecture one can replace rad(abc) by

where ω is the total number of distinct primes dividing a, b and c.

Andrew Granville noticed that the minimum of the function

( \varepsilon ^{-\omega} \operatorname{rad}(abc) ) ^{1+\varepsilon} over \varepsilon > 0 occurs when \varepsilon = (\omega)/(log ( \operatorname{rad) (abc) ) }.

This inspired to propose a sharper form of the abc conjecture, namely:with κ an absolute constant. After some computational experiments he found that a value of

6 / 5 was admissible for κ. This version is called the "explicit abc conjecture".

also describes related conjectures of Andrew Granville that would give upper bounds on c of the form

where Ω(n) is the total number of prime factors of n, and

where Θ(n) is the number of integers up to n divisible only by primes dividing n.

proposed a more precise inequality based on .Let k = rad(abc). They conjectured there is a constant C₁ such that

holds whereas there is a constant C₂ such that

holds infinitely often.

formulated the n conjecture—a version of the abc conjecture involving n > 2 integers.

Claimed proofs

Lucien Szpiro proposed a solution in 2007, but it was found to be incorrect shortly afterwards.^[11]

Since August 2012, Shinichi Mochizuki has claimed a proof of Szpiro's conjecture and therefore the abc conjecture.^[2] He released a series of four preprints developing a new theory he called inter-universal Teichmüller theory (IUTT), which is then applied to prove the abc conjecture.^[12] The papers have not been widely accepted by the mathematical community as providing a proof of abc.^[13] This is not only because of their length and the difficulty of understanding them,^[14] but also because at least one specific point in the argument has been identified as a gap by some other experts. Although a few mathematicians have vouched for the correctness of the proof^[15] and have attempted to communicate their understanding via workshops on IUTT, they have failed to convince the number theory community at large.^{[16] [17]}

In March 2018, Peter Scholze and Jakob Stix visited Kyoto for discussions with Mochizuki.^{[18] [19]} While they did not resolve the differences, they brought them into clearer focus.Scholze and Stix wrote a report asserting and explaining an error in the logic of the proof and claiming that the resulting gap was "so severe that ... small modifications will not rescue the proof strategy";^[20] Mochizuki claimed that they misunderstood vital aspects of the theory and made invalid simplifications.^{[21] [22] [23]}

On April 3, 2020, two mathematicians from the Kyoto research institute where Mochizuki works announced that his claimed proof would be published in Publications of the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, the institute's journal. Mochizuki is chief editor of the journal but recused himself from the review of the paper.^[3] The announcement was received with skepticism by Kiran Kedlaya and Edward Frenkel, as well as being described by Nature as "unlikely to move many researchers over to Mochizuki's camp".^[3] In March 2021, Mochizuki's proof was published in RIMS.^[24]
