Parametric solutions to the generalized Fermat equation

In this paper we examine parametric solutions to the generalized Fermat equation, xp+yq=zr. Simple criteria are given for the existence of solutions over an algebraically closed field and all such solutions are described. Parametric solutions over non-algebraically closed fields are then considered,...
