Abstract
If k is a sufficiently large positive integer, we show that the Diophantine equation
n(n+d)⋯(n+(k−1)d)=yℓ
has at most finitely many solutions in positive integers n,d,y and ℓ, with gcd(n,d)=1 and ℓ≥2. Our proof relies upon Frey-Hellegouarch curves and results on supersingular primes for elliptic curves without complex multiplication, derived from upper bounds for short character sums and sieves, analytic and combinatorial.
