Abstract
We define X-base Fibonacci-Wieferich primes, which generalize Wieferich primes, where X is a finite set of algebraic numbers. We show that there are infinitely many non-X-base Fibonacci-Wieferich primes, assuming the abc-conjecture of Masser-Oesterlé-Szpiro for number fields. We also provide a new conjecture concerning the rank of the free part of the abelian group generated by all elements in X and give some heuristics that support the conjecture.
