Linear Forms in Elliptic Integrals.
In a recent paper we proved that there are at most finitely many complex numbers such that the points and are both torsion on the Legendre elliptic curve defined by . In a sequel we gave a generalization to any two points with coordinates algebraic over the field and even over . Here we reconsider the special case and with complex numbers and .
In recent papers we proved a special case of a variant of Pink’s Conjecture for a variety inside a semiabelian scheme: namely for any curve inside anything isogenous to a product of two elliptic schemes. Here we go beyond the elliptic situation by settling the crucial case of any simple abelian surface scheme defined over the field of algebraic numbers, thus confirming an earlier conjecture of Shou-Wu Zhang. This is of particular relevance in the topic, also in view of very recent counterexamples...
Consider an arbitrary algebraic curve defined over the field of all algebraic numbers and sitting in a multiplicative commutative algebraic group. In an earlier article from 1999 bearing almost the same title, we studied the intersection of the curve and the union of all algebraic subgroups of some fixed codimension. With codimension one the resulting set has bounded height properties, and with codimension two it has finiteness properties. The main aim of the present work is to make a start on such...
