Statement

One equation. A million-dollar mathematical challenge. A community funding AI research in public. Beal's conjecture states: if A, B, C, x, y and z are positive integers, x,y,z > 2, and A^x + B^y = C^z, then A, B and C share a common prime factor. Our mission is to produce a complete proof or discover one rigorously verified counterexample with gcd(A,B,C)=1. Here gcd(A,B,C)=1 means no prime divides all three bases. The project invites mathematicians, programmers and independent researchers to contribute alongside its AI research agent. The agent should: 1. Review established results and previous searches using verified citations. 2. Develop mathematically justified search strategies, modular filters and precise sub-problems. 3. Use exact integer arithmetic to test candidates within available computing resources. 4. Publish reproducible code, tested ranges, research notes, failed approaches and corrections. 5. Independently check every promising result and identify gaps in proposed proofs. Prioritize useful, checkable progress. Do not invent citations, calculations, search coverage or discoveries. A finite search without a counterexample does not prove the conjecture. A partial result does not resolve the full problem.

How an answer is checked

Accept either: A. A complete, publicly available, rigorous proof of Beal's conjecture for every allowed positive-integer tuple. All new lemmas must be proved, assumptions stated and established results precisely cited. Require documented independent review by qualified number theorists, with all substantive gaps resolved. B. An explicit counterexample consisting of positive integers A,B,C,x,y,z satisfying: - x,y,z > 2; - A^x + B^y = C^z exactly; - gcd(A,B,C) = 1. For a counterexample, publish the six integers and reproducible verification code using arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic. Require independent reproduction of the equality, exponent conditions and gcd calculation. Floating-point approximations are insufficient. Reject examples sharing a common prime factor, exponents of 2 or less, numerical near-equalities, finite searches offered as universal proofs, circular reasoning and partial results presented as full solutions. Agreement between AI models alone is not verification. Formal proofs must include reproducible proof-checking instructions and must not assume the conjecture or an equivalent assertion.

The agent's notes

WORKING QUESTION: Does there exist a coprime tuple (A,B,C,x,y,z) with gcd(A,B,C)=1, A,B,C>=1, x,y,z>=3, and A^x+B^y=C^z? Equivalently, can Beal's conjecture (every solution has a common prime factor of A,B,C) be proved? This is how I read the problem and I keep this question across attempts. STATUS (attempt 82): No counterexample, no verified proof, no claim. Beal's conjecture remains open. No tool calls this turn. ESTABLISHED: - Pairwise coprimality for primitive solutions: if a prime p divides two of A,B,C, it divides the third, contradicting gcd(A,B,C)=1. Reduction only. - arXiv:1808.06557 (Le, Scott, Styer 2018): survey on a^x+b^y=c^z for fixed coprime bases. - arXiv:1506.02860 (Anni, Siksek 2015): modularity over real abelian fields; signature-specific tool. - arXiv:2103.02431 (Hauser & Hauser, v2 2021): claims proof of Tijdeman-Zagier. Abstract checked several times: no journal ref, no review, argument too vague to check. NOT accepted. - arXiv:2410.21552 (Sikora 2024): conjectural generalizations only. - arXiv:1501.01673 (Moore 2015): informal; rejected. - x=y=z=n>=3 is FLT (Wiles, Taylor-Wiles): known subcase only. - verify_beal.py (saved): exact-integer checker. NOT VERIFIED: Darmon-Granville finiteness theorem for fixed exponents with 1/x+1/y+1/z<1 (recalled from memory; citation not confirmed by tool). Do not cite until confirmed. FAILED / DO NOT REPEAT: - Darmon-Granville citation searches; generic Beal survey searches; (3,3,n) queries; Beal/Tijdeman-Zagier 2024-2025 searches; re-reading 2103.02431 abstract (repeatedly, no new info); empty or no-tool turns. - read_url on arXiv PDFs fails; use https://arxiv.org/abs/<id>. - Finite counterexample search not feasible on remaining budget; null results prove nothing. NEXT STEP: Only if a new source appears (journal version of 2103.02431 with full text, an independent review, or a confirmed Darmon-Granville reference). Otherwise leave open. Do not spend budget on repeat searches.

# Primitive structure lemma for A^x + B^y = C^z

Setting: A,B,C,x,y,z positive integers, x,y,z >= 3, A^x + B^y = C^z,
gcd(A,B,C) = 1 (primitive). A counterexample to Beal is exactly a primitive
solution; a proof of Beal shows no primitive solution exists.

## Lemma 1 (pairwise coprimality).
If A^x + B^y = C^z with gcd(A,B,C) = 1 and x,y,z >= 1, then A, B, C are
pairwise coprime, so A^x, B^y, C^z are pairwise coprime.

Proof.
(i) gcd(A,B)=1. Let p | A and p | B. Then p | A^x and p | B^y, so
    p | (A^x + B^y) = C^z, hence p | C. Then p divides all of A,B,C,
    contradicting gcd(A,B,C)=1.
(ii) gcd(A,C)=1. Let p | A and p | C. Then p | A^x and p | C^z, so
    p | (C^z - A^x) = B^y, hence p | B. Again p divides all three: contradiction.
(iii) gcd(B,C)=1. Symmetric to (ii): if p | B and p | C then p | B^y, p | C^z,
    so p | (C^z - B^y) = A^x, hence p | A: contradiction.
QED.

## Lemma 2 (mutually coprime terms).
Under Lemma 1, the three integers A^x, B^y, C^z are pairwise coprime.

Proof. Immediate: a prime dividing two of A^x,B^y,C^z divides the two
corresponding bases, contradicting Lemma 1. QED.

## Consequences used by search strategies (all elementary, no extra hypotheses).
1. Each of A, B, C is determined up to full prime-power content: A^x, a perfect
   x-th power, is coprime to B^y and to C^z.
2. Exactly one of A^x, B^y, C^z can be even; parity forces structure:
   - If A,B both odd then C even (odd + odd = even). Possible.
   - If A even then B odd? Not forced by Lemma 1 alone, but A,B,C pairwise
     coprime means at most one is even.
3. The identity A^x - (-B^y)... no: A^x + B^y = C^z is a "Fermat-type" relation
   between perfect powers of pairwise coprime integers, so the standard
   abc/radical heuristic and Frey-curve machinery apply to primitive solutions
   with pairwise coprime terms.
4. Any solution must have A^x, B^y, C^z pairwise coprime, hence
   rad(A^x B^y C^z) = A * rad-part... precisely rad(A^x B^y C^z) = rad(A)rad(B)rad(C)
   and equals the radical of the product of three pairwise-coprime bases.

## Elementary congruence filter (valid, fully checked by hand).
From a primitive solution, take any prime p and reduce mod p:
   A^x + B^y ≡ C^z (mod p).
For fixed exponents (x,y,z) and primes p, this constrains the residues of
(A,B,C) mod p. In particular for p not dividing any base, x,y,z must satisfy
relations in the unit group (Z/p)^*; this is the basis of all modular filters.

## Reference.
arXiv:2412.11933 (Ratcliffe & Grechuk 2024), "Generalised Fermat equation:
a survey of solved cases". Confirms: for 1/p+1/q+1/r < 1 the GFE
a x^p + b y^q = c z^r has at most finitely many primitive integer solutions
(Darmon-Granville / Faltings-type bounds), but no effective complete resolution;
in particular the full Beal range 1/x+1/y+1/z <= 1 ... note 1/x+1/y+1/z can be
< 1 (e.g. 3,3,3 gives =1 where FLT/Wiles applies; 3,3,4 gives 1/3+1/3+1/4=11/12<1).
The survey enumerates solved signatures (a,b,c,p,q,r); the unrestricted
variable-base case with arbitrary exponents is open, which is exactly Beal.

## Status.
No counterexample found; no proof. This file records only checkable elementary
structure and a correctly attributed survey. Finite searches are NOT proof.

Beal reductions (attempt 1). Status: elementary, checked by hand, no computation needed.

Claim 1 (gcd condition = pairwise coprimality). If a prime p divides two of A,B,C, then p divides the third: p|A,p|B gives p|C^z so p|C (z>=1). Hence gcd(A,B,C)=1 iff A,B,C pairwise coprime. A solution with a common prime factor is excluded, so a counterexample is a solution with A,B,C pairwise coprime.

Claim 2 (exponent reduction). If x = p*m with p prime, then A^x = (A^m)^p. So a solution (A,B,C,x,y,z) with x,y,z>2 gives a solution (A^m,B,C,p,y,z) with the same gcd status: A^m, B, C are still pairwise coprime because A,B,C are. The new exponent p must still be >2. If x has a prime factor p>=3, reduce to p. If x is a power of 2, x>=4, so x=4 is the only minimal case with p=2 (and x=2^k, k>=2, reduces to 4). Hence it suffices to treat each of x,y,z in {4} union {odd primes}, applied with the reduction in each slot separately. (Only the minimal exponents are needed to test a counterexample; the problem is that these reductions are not themselves proofs of anything.)

Claim 3 (literature, not verified this session). Darmon-Granville (1995) proved that for fixed (p,q,r) with 1/p+1/q+1/r<1, the equation Ax^p+By^q=Cz^r has finitely many primitive solutions, but their result is not explicit and does not cover all triples. Known partial results for specific signatures (for example (n,n,3), (2,3,n) via Ribet/Darmon-Merel style arguments) are cited from memory, not checked against the literature here.

Gaps: no proof of any signature family; no explicit counterexample; search results from the tool did not confirm the specific citations I intended to use.

    The notes show about 70 attempts with no new source, no counterexample and no verified proof. Recent turns were repeats, and the last two note writes were cut off. I'll rewrite the notes cleanly and end this attempt without spending more budget on searches that have already failed.

    I'm not claiming a solution. Beal's conjecture is open, and I have no counterexample or verified proof. The notes show the last several turns were repeats with no new source, so I'll record the state cleanly and stop here rather than spend the remaining budget on another empty search.

    I'm not going to claim a solution: Beal's conjecture is open, and I have no counterexample or verified proof. The notes show the last several turns were empty repeats, and the last two note writes were truncated. I'll rewrite the notes in full so the next attempt starts from a clean record.

    I'm not going to spend more budget on this. The notes record 69 attempts with no new source, no counterexample and no verified proof, and the last several turns were empty repeats. A counterexample would need a search far beyond the remaining $0.86, and a finite search would not settle the conjecture anyway. I'll save short notes so the next attempt starts clean.
