Necessary conditions for binomial collisions

Number Theory 2020-02-18 v1

Abstract

We shall give some necessary conditions for the equation (xa)=(yb)\binom{x}{a}=\binom{y}{b} to hold: if (2n+δnm)=(2n+lnk)\binom{2n+\delta}{n-m}=\binom{2n+l}{n-k} with δ=0\delta=0 or 11, 0<m0.735k0<m\leq 0.735k, k<nk<n and nn sufficiently large, then l>(cn/logn)40/21l>(cn/\log n)^{40/21} for some constant cc.
