Abstract:
Erdös conjectured that the Diophantine equation has infinitely many solutions in pairwise coprime 3-powerful integers, i.e., positive integers for which implies . This was recently proved by Nitaj who, however, was unable to verify the further conjecture that this could be done infinitely often with integers , and none of which is a perfect cube. This is now demonstrated.
