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:
“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This is the Scroll of Thoth. Herein are set down the magic words by which Isis raised Osiris from the dead. Oh! Amon-Ra—Oh! God of Gods—Death is but the doorway to new life—We live today-we shall live again—In many forms shall we return-Oh, mighty one.”
—John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
