A Simple Proof of the Markoff Conjecture for Prime Powers
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 ≤ c holds whenever c is a prime power.

We present a very elementary proof of the uniqueness of Markoff numbers which are prime powers or twice prime powers, in the sense that it uses neither algebraic number theory nor hyperbolic geometry.
متن کامل2-quasirecognizability of the simple groups B_n(p) and C_n(p) by prime graph
Let G be a finite group and let $GK(G)$ be the prime graph of G. We assume that $n$ is an odd number. In this paper, we show that if $GK(G)=GK(B_n(p))$, where $ngeq 9$ and $pin {3,5,7}$, then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to $B_n(p)$ or $C_n(p)$ . As consequences of our result, $B_n(p)$ is quasirecognizable by its spectrum and also by a new proof, the ...
متن کاملMarkoff numbers and ambiguous classes
The Markoff conjecture states that given a positive integer c, there is at most one triple (a, b, c) of positive integers with a ≤ b ≤ c that satisfies the equation a2 + b2 + c2 = 3abc. The conjecture is known to be true when c is a prime power or two times a prime power. We present an elementary proof of this result. We also show that if in the class group of forms of discriminant d = 9c2 − 4,...

Vasil'ev posed Problem 16.26 in [The Kourovka Notebook: Unsolved Problems in Group Theory, 16th ed.,Sobolev Inst. Math., Novosibirsk (2006).] as follows:Does there exist a positive integer $k$ such that there are no $k$ pairwise nonisomorphicnonabelian finite simple groups with the same graphs of primes? Conjecture: $k = 5$.In [Zvezdina, On nonabelian simple groups having the same prime graph a...
