In a recent series of preprints S. Marshall claims to give proofs of several famous conjectures in number theory, among them the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach’s conjecture. A claimed proof of Beal’s conjecture would even imply an elemen- tary proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. It is the purpose of this note to point out serious errors. It is the opinion of this author that it is safe to say that the claims of the above mentioned papers are lacking any basis.
