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:
“We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
To those that cannot say good-by themselves.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
