On The Exceptional solutions of Je\'smanowicz' conjecture

Abstract

Let (a,b,c) be a primitive Pythagorean triple. Set a=m2-n2,b=2mn, and c=m2+n2 with m and n positive coprime integers, m>n and m n 2. A famous conjecture of Je\'smanowicz asserts that the only positive solution to the Diophantine equation ax+by=cz is (x,y,z)(2,2,2). In this note, we will prove that for any n>0 there exists an explicit constant c(n)>0 such that if m> c(n), then the above equation has no exceptional solution when all x,y and z are even. Our result improves that of Fu and Yang [11]. As an application, we will show that if 4 \! m and m > c(n) Je\'smanowicz' conjecture holds.
