Abstract

We consider Diophantine quintuples \a, b, c, d, e\. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we improve on current estimates to show that there are at most 1.9⋅ 1029 Diophantine quintuples.
