A Geometric Framework and Complete Proof of the Beal Conjecture

We present a complete proof that the equation Ax+By=CzA^x+B^y=C^z Ax+By=Cz has no solution in positive integers with x,y,z≥3x,y,z\ge 3 x,y,z≥3 and gcd⁡(A,B,C)=1\gcd(A,B,C)=1 gcd(A,B,C)=1. We first develop a geometric framework based on the support overlap measure μ(A,B,C)=log⁡∏ppmin⁡(vp(A),vp(B),vp(C))\mu(A,B,C)=\log\prod_p p^{\min(v_p(A),v_p(B),v_p(C))} μ(A,B,C)=log∏ppmin(vp(A),vp(B),vp(C)), which quantifies shared prime structure in prime-coordinate space. Six theorems are established: scalar exponentiation, the ultrametric propagation lemma, discreteness of μ\mu μ, the minimum harmonic-mode bound μ2≥3μ1\mu_2\ge 3\mu_1 μ2≥3μ1, equivalence of Beal with μ≥log⁡2\mu\ge\log 2 μ≥log2, and sharpness. Computational verification across eight scales (N=100N=100 N=100 to N=10,000N=10,000 N=10,000) yields 542 solutions with zero coprime instances. The proof follows the Frey–Ribet–Wiles modular method, with three new results that together close all previously open cases: (1) Villines Palindromic Identity. Setting u=R/S+S/Ru=R/S+S/R u=R/S+S/R where R=AxR=A^x R=Ax, S=ByS=B^y S=By, the condition j(E)=jCMj(E)=j_{CM} j(E)=jCM is equivalent to the cubic 256(u−1)3=jCM(u+2)256(u-1)^3=j_{CM}(u+2) 256(u−1)3=jCM(u+2), which eliminates all Mazur exceptional-prime obstructions uniformly, verified for all 14 relevant CM jj j-invariants. (2) Conductor Lemma. In all parity cases the formula c4=16(a2+ab+b2)c_4=16(a^2+ab+b^2) c4=16(a2+ab+b2) satisfies v2(c4)=4v_2(c_4)=4 v2(c4)=4, giving f2≤4f_2\le 4 f2≤4 and N0≤16N_0\le 16 N0≤16 after level-lowering.

Abstract

We present a complete proof that the equation Ax+By=CzA^x+B^y=C^z Ax+By=Cz has no solution in positive integers with x,y,z≥3x,y,z\ge 3 x,y,z≥3 and gcd⁡(A,B,C)=1\gcd(A,B,C)=1 gcd(A,B,C)=1. We first develop a geometric framework based on the support overlap measure μ(A,B,C)=log⁡∏ppmin⁡(vp(A),vp(B),vp(C))\mu(A,B,C)=\log\prod_p p^{\min(v_p(A),v_p(B),v_p(C))} μ(A,B,C)=log∏ppmin(vp(A),vp(B),vp(C)), which quantifies shared prime structure in prime-coordinate space. Six theorems are established: scalar exponentiation, the ultrametric propagation lemma, discreteness of μ\mu μ, the minimum harmonic-mode bound μ2≥3μ1\mu_2\ge 3\mu_1 μ2≥3μ1, equivalence of Beal with μ≥log⁡2\mu\ge\log 2 μ≥log2, and sharpness. Computational verification across eight scales (N=100N=100 N=100 to N=10,000N=10,000 N=10,000) yields 542 solutions with zero coprime instances. The proof follows the Frey–Ribet–Wiles modular method, with three new results that together close all previously open cases: (1) Villines Palindromic Identity. Setting u=R/S+S/Ru=R/S+S/R u=R/S+S/R where R=AxR=A^x R=Ax, S=ByS=B^y S=By, the condition j(E)=jCMj(E)=j_{CM} j(E)=jCM is equivalent to the cubic 256(u−1)3=jCM(u+2)256(u-1)^3=j_{CM}(u+2) 256(u−1)3=jCM(u+2), which eliminates all Mazur exceptional-prime obstructions uniformly, verified for all 14 relevant CM jj j-invariants. (2) Conductor Lemma. In all parity cases the formula c4=16(a2+ab+b2)c_4=16(a^2+ab+b^2) c4=16(a2+ab+b2) satisfies v2(c4)=4v_2(c_4)=4 v2(c4)=4, giving f2≤4f_2\le 4 f2≤4 and N0≤16N_0\le 16 N0≤16 after level-lowering.
