elementary number theory - Three consecutive integers which are power of prime but not prime



Does there exist three consecutive positive integers such that each of them is the power of a prime i.e., is there exist $n \in \mathbb{N}$, such that $n=p^i$, $n+1 = q^j$ and $n+2 = r^k$, where $p$, $q$ and $r$ are primes and $i,j,k >1$.


Answer



No. Catalan conjecture...................
