Abstract
Let $a,b,c$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}.$ In 1956, Jeśmanowicz conjectured that for any positive integer $n$, the only solution of $(an)^{x}+(bn)^{y}=(cn)^{z}$ in positive integers is $(x,y,z)=(2,2,2)$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer and $F_k=2^{2^k}+1$ be $k$-th Fermat number. In this paper, we show that Jeśmanowicz' conjecture is true for Pythagorean triples $(a,b,c)=(F_k-2,2^{2^{k-1}+1},F_k)$.
