Abstract:
      Let $(a,b,c)$ be a primitive Pythagorean triple. Je\'{s}manowicz conjectured in 1956 that for any positive integer $n$, the Diophantine equation $(an)^x+(bn)^y=(cn)^z$ has only the positive integer solution $(x,y,z)=(2,2,2)$. Let $p\equiv 3\pmod 4$ be a prime and $s$ be some positive integer. In the paper, we show that the conjecture is true when $(a,b,c)=(4p^{2s}-1,4p^{s},4p^{2s}+1)$ and certain divisibility conditions are satisfied.
