Dear Colleague,

as m and z are constants I assign them - for example's sake - the values E
and Pi respectively;
fortunately the rest is almost as simple:

m = E;
z = Pi;
Table[N[Solve[((1 - y)/x + 1/m)^x == 
  (y*Exp[1 + 
       ((x - 1)*z)/
        (2*(x + 1))])/m^x, y]], {x, 2, 3}]//Flatten

{y -> 0.5582091478296327, 
  y -> 5.397365681566638, 
  y -> 0.5074441647195549, 
  y -> 
   2.901735402911711 - 
    3.150434512934943*I, 
  y -> 
   2.901735402911711 + 
    3.150434512934943*I}

Your function - which I hope I did not misrepresent - does however not
appear to be very "smooth".

Hoping that the solution is useful nevertheless, I remain

Yours sincerely,

Matthias Bode
