Covering collections and a challenge problem of Serre
We answer a challenge of Serre by showing that every rational point on the projective curve X$^4$ + Y$^4$ = 17 Z$^4$ is of the form ($\pm$1, $\pm$2, 1) or ($\pm$2, $\pm$1, 1). Our approach builds on recent ideas from both Nils Bruin and the authors on the application of covering collections and Chab...
