A Note on the Beal Conjecture

Around $1637$, Pierre de Fermat famously scribbled, and claimed to have a proof for, his statement that equation aⁿ + bⁿ = cⁿ has no positive integer solutions for exponents $n>2$. The theorem stood unproven for centuries until Andrew Wiles' groundbreaking work in $1994$, with a notable caveat: Wiles' proof, while successful, relied on modern tools far beyond Fermat's claimed approach in terms of complexity. Combining short and basic tools, we were able to prove the Beal conjecture, a well-known generalization of Fermat's Last Theorem. The present work potentially offers a solution which is closer in spirit to Fermat's original idea.
