C'est un rapport sur le travail recent de Bugeaud, Hanrot et Mihailescu, montrant qu'on peut demontrer l'hypothese de Catalan sans utiliser les formes logarithmiques, ni le calcul avec un ordinateur.

Dans cette these, on etudie deux types d'equations diophantiennes. Une premiere partie de notre etude porte sur la resolution des equations dites de Ramanujan-Nagell $Cx^2+b^{2m}D=y^n$. Une deuxieme
Perfect Powers: Pillai's works and their developments
A perfect power is a positive integer of the form $a^x$ where $a\ge 1$ and $x\ge 2$ are rational integers. Subbayya Sivasankaranarayana Pillai wrote several papers on these numbers. In 1936 and again

Let (x, y, p, q) be a solution of Catalan’s equation (with x, y nonzero integers and p, q odd primes) and G the Galois group of the cyclotomic field $$K = \mathbb{Q}(\zeta _{p})$$. From the previous

It turns out that a similar phenomenon seems, conjecturally, to be at work for solutions which are close to being integral in another sense, and suggests a bound on the size of integral solutions in terms of the coefficients of the defining equation.
Generalization of Ruderman's Problem to Imaginary Quadratic Fields
In 1974, H. Ruderman posed the following question: If (2 − 2)|(3 − 3), then does it follow that (2 − 2)|(x − x) for every integer x? This problem is still open. However, in 2011, M. R. Murty and V.

Abstract We give a new lower bound for a linear form in two logarithms. This work combines the technique of interpolation determinants introduced by M. Laurent and a zero-lemma due to Y. Nesterenko.

Applying old and new theoretical results to a systematic computation, it is shown that Catalan's equation has only the obvious solutions when min{p, q} < 10651.
