Refined Forms and Generalizations
A stronger inequality proposed by Baker (1998) states that in the inequality, one can replace rad(abc) by
- ε−ωrad(abc)
where ω is the total number of distinct primes dividing a, b and c (Bombieri & Gubler 2006, p. 404). A related conjecture of Andrew Granville states that on the RHS we could also put
- O(rad(abc) Θ(rad(abc)))
where Θ(n) is the number of integers up to n divisible only by primes dividing n.
Browkin & Brzeziński (1994) formulated the n-conjecture—a version of the abc conjecture involving integers.

Famous quotes containing the words refined and/or forms:
“You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of it—low, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passion—and sneering at everything noble refined and truly national. The direct tyranny will come on by and by, after it shall have gratified the multitude with the spoil and ruin of the old institutions of the land.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
