Catalan s Conjecture
Eugène
Charles Catalan made his famous conjecture
-
that
8
and
9
are the only two
consecutive perfect powers of natural numbers
-
in
1844
in a letter to the editor of
Crelle s mathematical journal. One hundred and fifty-eight years later,
Preda
Mihăilescu
proved it.
Catalan s Conjecture presents this spectacular result in a way that is accessible to the
advanced undergraduate. The first few sections of the book require little more than a
basic mathematical background and some knowledge of elementary number theory,
while later sections involve Galois theory, algebraic number theory and a small
amount of commutative algebra. The prerequisites, such as the basic facts from the
arithmetic of cyclotomic fields, are all discussed within the text.
The author dissects both
Mihăilescu s
proof and the earlier work it made use of,
taking great care to select streamlined and transparent versions of the arguments and
to keep the text self-contained. Only in the proof of Thaine s theorem is a little class
field theory used; it is hoped that this application will motivate the interested reader
to study the theory further.
Beautifully clear and concise, this book will appeal not only to specialists in number
theory but to anyone interested in seeing the application
of the ideas of algebraic number theory to a famous
mathematical problem.
