Abstract

We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to A+B+C=0A+B+C=0, in relatively prime integers A,B,CA,B,C each of absolute value less than NN with r(A)<Aa,r(B)<Bb,r(C)<Cc.r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c. The ABC Conjecture is equivalent to the statement that for a+b+c<1a+b+c<1, the number of solutions is bounded independently of NN. If a+b+c1a+b+c \geq 1, it is conjectured that the number of solutions is asymptotically Na+b+c1±ϵ.N^{a+b+c-1 \pm \epsilon}. We prove this conjecture as long as a+b+c2.a+b+c \geq 2.
