The integral points on elliptic curves y 2 = x 3 + ( 36 n 2 - 9 ) x - 2 ( 36 n 2 - 5 )

Hai Yang, Ruiqin Fu (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let n be a positive odd integer. In this paper, combining some properties of quadratic and quartic diophantine equations with elementary analysis, we prove that if n > 1 and both 6 n 2 - 1 and 12 n 2 + 1 are odd primes, then the general elliptic curve y 2 = x 3 + ( 36 n 2 - 9 ) x - 2 ( 36 n 2 - 5 ) has only the integral point ( x , y ) = ( 2 , 0 ) . By this result we can get that the above elliptic curve has only the trivial integral point for n = 3 , 13 , 17 etc. Thus it can be seen that the elliptic curve y 2 = x 3 + 27 x - 62 really is an unusual elliptic curve which has large integral points.

The Ljunggren equation revisited

Konstantinos A. Draziotis (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the Ljunggren equation Y² + 1 = 2X⁴ using the "multiplication by 2" method of Chabauty.

The method of infinite ascent applied on A 4 ± n B 3 = C 2

Susil Kumar Jena (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Each of the Diophantine equations A 4 ± n B 3 = C 2 has an infinite number of integral solutions ( A , B , C ) for any positive integer n . 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 A , B and C 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 ( A , B , C ) of the Diophantine equation a A 3 + c B 3 = C 2 for any co-prime integer pair ( a , c ) .

The p -part of Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves can be arbitrarily large

Remke Kloosterman (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper we show that for every prime p 5 the dimension of the p -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of E / K can be arbitrarily large, where E is an elliptic curve defined over a number field K , with [ K : ] bounded by a constant depending only on p . From this we deduce that the dimension of the p -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of A / can be arbitrarily large, where A is an abelian variety, with dim A bounded by a constant depending only on p .
