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:
“A refined simplicity is the characteristic of all high bred deportment, in every country, and a considerate humanity should be the aim of all beneath it.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
