On the Diophantine equation Cx2+p2m=yq
Abstract
We classify the primitive positive solutions of Cx2+p2m=yq under the hypotheses that C>3 is odd and square-free, p,q are odd primes, pnmid C, qnmid h(−C), and y is odd. The solutions form six explicit families: one for arbitrary q and five exceptional families with q=3, three of which arise from half-integral elements when C≡3pmod8. The proof combines ideal factorization with Lehmer sequences and shows that representations with second coordinate v=pr, r>0, contribute only when q=3.
