A simple proof of the Markoff conjecture for prime powers
Mong Lung Lang, Ser Peow Tan
Abstract
We give a simple and independent proof of the result of Jack Button and Paul Schmutz that the Markoff conjecture on the uniqueness of the Markoff triples (a,b,c), where a, b, and c are in increasing order, holds whenever c is a prime power.
