On families of 9-congruent elliptic curves

Tom Fisher (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We compute equations for the families of elliptic curves 9-congruent to a given elliptic curve. We use these to find infinitely many non-trivial pairs of 9-congruent elliptic curves over ℚ, i.e. pairs of non-isogenous elliptic curves over ℚ whose 9-torsion subgroups are isomorphic as Galois modules.

On the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c²

Acta Arithmetica

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.
