Three-term arithmetic progressions of consecutive powerful numbers
Abstract
We show that infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions N, N+d, N+2d of powerful numbers exist with d = 2N + 1. We further conjecture that infinitely many of these progressions consist of three consecutive terms in the sequence of powerful numbers, which would answer a question of Erdos in the negative.
