Streszczenie
We consider Thue equations of the form $ax^k+by^k = 1$, and assuming the truth of the $abc$-conjecture, we show that almost all locally soluble Thue equations of degree at least three violate the Hasse principle. A similar conclusion holds true for Fermat equations $ax^k+by^k+cz^k = 0$ of degree at least six.
