ABC Conjecture: $ABC = 2^m p^n q^r$ with Fermat or Mersenne Primes

Abstract

For $p$ and $q$ any two distinct Fermat or Mersenne primes, $m,n,r$ as positive integers and $μ= \pm 1$ satisfying any diophantine relation, $\mbox{(i)}\; 2^m + μ= p^nq^r, \mbox{(ii)} \; 2^mp^n + μ= q^r \mbox{ or } \mbox{(iii)} \; p^n + μq^r = 2^m$, it is shown that the number of triplets $\{A, B, C \}$ with $\gcd(A,B) = 1$ and $C = A + B$, for which their product is of the form $ABC = 2^mp^nq^r$ and which satisfy $C > \mathrm{rad}(ABC)^{1 + \varepsilon}$ for any real $\varepsilon > 0$, is finite. For the triplet $\{2^{y+1}, 2^{2y}+1, (2^y+1)^2\}$, a solution to (iii) with positive integer $y$ such that $2^y+1$ and $2^{2y}+1$ are primes, $\mathrm{rad}(ABC)^{1 + \varepsilon} > C$ holds for any $\varepsilon > 0$. Furthermore, finiteness of the number of solutions of (iii) when $n$ is even, is demonstrated elsewhere (Ref. [64]). All other solutions are enumerated.

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
