Abstract:
This presentation will delve into a fascinating open Erdös Problem, which poses the question: Is it true that there are no solutions to \(n! = x^k \pm y^k\) with $x, y, n, k \in \mathbb{N}$, $xy > 1$, and $k > 2$? We will show that a solution does indeed exist. However, in exploring whether this solution is unique, we uncover an intriguing pattern among the co-primes. This presentation will feature beautiful plots and reveal unexpected phenomena that invite deeper investigation. Join us as we navigate through these mathematical curiosities and uncover the hidden structures within.
