Modular parametrizations of certain elliptic curves

Matija Kazalicki, Koji Tasaka (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Kaneko and Sakai (2013) recently observed that certain elliptic curves whose associated newforms (by the modularity theorem) are given by the eta-quotients can be characterized by a particular differential equation involving modular forms and Ramanujan-Serre differential operator. In this paper, we study certain properties of the modular parametrization associated to the elliptic curves over ℚ, and as a consequence we generalize and explain some of their findings. ...

On the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c²

Similarity:

We study coprime integer solutions to the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c² using Galois representations and modular forms. This case represents perhaps the last natural family of generalized Fermat equations descended from spherical cases which is amenable to resolution using the so-called modular method. Our techniques involve an elaborate combination of ingredients, ranging from ℚ-curves and a delicate multi-Frey approach, to appeal to intricate image of inertia arguments.
