  ABC conjecture
A remarkable conjecture, first put forward in 1980 by Joseph Oesterle of the University of Paris and David Masser of the Mathematics Institute of the University of Basel in Switzerland, which is now considered one of the most important unsolved problems in number theory.
If it were proved correct, the proofs of many other famous conjectures and theorems would follow immediately – in some cases in just a few lines.
The ABC conjecture in effect translates an infinite number of Diophantine equations (including the equation of Fermat's last theorem) into a single mathematical statement.

David Masser, a 1998 agriculture systems management (ASM) graduate of Penn State, serves as Vice President of Sales and Marketing of a large potato farming company located in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
Masser's decision to study ASM was made when his acceptance letter from Penn State arrived.
Masser's major source of job satisfaction is the "human relations" aspect of a company employing 150 people.

In 1975, David Bernstein proved a general theorem that for two equations in two unknowns shows that the number of solutions of a system of two bivariate polynomial equations is equal to the mixed area of the two corresponding Newton polygons.
David Bleecker and Larry Wallen take the reader on a delightful trip through an offbeat and appealing optimization problem, with a dash of special functions and computer algebra to add spice.
David Bleecker received his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley with the gracious guidance of S.S. Chern, and with the help of inspirational courses in differential geometry beautifully taught by Blaine Lawson.

 Open Questions: Number Theory
Now that Fermat's problem has been solved, one might wonder whether there are any interesting generalizations to consider, or in fact any other problems in the area of Diophantine equations that are similarly important and challenging.
The so-called ABC conjecture, which was formulated in the mid-1980s by Joseph Oesterlé; and David Masser, is both a generalization of Fermat's Last Theorem (in the sense that it imples FLT), and also of extreme importance for Diophantine equations in general.
Number theory is largely the study of properties of the rational integers and algebraic integers.

One can further reduce to the problem of finding multiplicative relations between elements in the field K.
If K is a number field then one can use number theoretic estimates by David Masser, and by Blanksby and Montgomery.
If K is not algebraic over its prime field, one needs to study Weil divisors on some affine variety.
