The Diophantine equation X² - db²Y⁴ = 1
Let k be a real quadratic field and let and be the ring of integers and the group of units, respectively. A method of solving the Diophantine equation X³ = u+v (, ) is developed.
We investigate the average order of the divisor function at values of binary cubic forms that are reducible over and discuss some applications.
Let be a positive odd integer. In this paper, combining some properties of quadratic and quartic diophantine equations with elementary analysis, we prove that if and both and are odd primes, then the general elliptic curve has only the integral point . By this result we can get that the above elliptic curve has only the trivial integral point for etc. Thus it can be seen that the elliptic curve really is an unusual elliptic curve which has large integral points.
We study the Ljunggren equation Y² + 1 = 2X⁴ using the "multiplication by 2" method of Chabauty.
Each of the Diophantine equations has an infinite number of integral solutions for any positive integer . In this paper, we will show how the method of infinite ascent could be applied to generate these solutions. We will investigate the conditions when , and are pair-wise co-prime. As a side result of this investigation, we will show a method of generating an infinite number of co-prime integral solutions of the Diophantine equation for any co-prime integer pair .
In this paper we show that for every prime the dimension of the -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of can be arbitrarily large, where is an elliptic curve defined over a number field , with bounded by a constant depending only on . From this we deduce that the dimension of the -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of can be arbitrarily large, where is an abelian variety, with bounded by a constant depending only on .
