Abstract
We develop a variety of new techniques to treat Diophantine equations of the shape x2+D=yn, based upon bounds for linear forms in p-adic and complex logarithms, the modularity of Galois representations attached to Frey-Hellegouarch elliptic curves, and machinery from Diophantine approximation. We use these to explicitly determine the set of all coprime integers x and y, and n≥3, with the property that yn>x2 and x2−yn has no prime divisor exceeding 11.
