Catalan without logarithmic forms (after Bugeaud, Hanrot and Mihăilescu)
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 17 (2005) no. 1, pp. 69-85.

C’est un rapport sur le travail récent de Bugeaud, Hanrot et Mihăilescu, montrant qu’on peut démontrer l’hypothèse de Catalan sans utiliser les formes logarithmiques, ni le calcul avec un ordinateur.

This is an exposition of the recent work of Bugeaud, Hanrot and Mihăilescu showing that Catalan’s conjecture can be proved without using logarithmic forms and electronic computations.
