Résumé :
Exponential Diophantine equations, say of the form (1) $u_{1}+...+u_{k}=b$ where the $u_{i}$ are exponential terms with fixed integer bases and unknown exponents and b is a fixed integer, play a central role in the theory of Diophantine equations, with several applications of many types. However, we can bound the solutions only in case of k = 2 (by results of Gyory and others, based upon Baker's method), for k > 2 only the number of so-called non-degenerate solutions can be bounded (by the Thue-Siegel-Roth-Schmidt method; see also results of Evertse and others). In particular, there is a big need for a method which is capable to solve (1) completely in concrete cases.
Skolem's conjecture (roughly) says that if (1) has no solutions, then it has no solutions modulo m with some m. In the talk we present a new method which relies on the principle behind the conjecture, and which (at least in principle) is capable to solve equations of type (1), for any value of k. We give several applications, as well. Then we provide results towards the solution of Skolem's conjecture. First we show that in certain sense it is 'almost always' valid. Then we provide a proof for the conjecture in some cases with k = 2, 3. (The handled cases include Catalan's equation and Fermat's equation, too - the precise connection will be explained in the talk). Note that previously Skolem's conjecture was proved only for k = 1, by Schinzel.
The new results presented are (partly) joint with Bertok, Berczes, Luca, Tijdeman.
