Diophantine equations after Fermat’s last theorem

Samir Siksek (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

These are expository notes that accompany my talk at the 25th Journées Arithmétiques, July 2–6, 2007, Edinburgh, Scotland. I aim to shed light on the following two questions:(i)Given a Diophantine equation, what information can be obtained by following the strategy of Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem?(ii)Is it useful to combine this approach with traditional approaches to Diophantine equations: Diophantine approximation, arithmetic geometry, ...?

Diophantine equations and class number of imaginary quadratic fields

Zhenfu Cao, Xiaolei Dong (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Let A, D, K, k ∈ ℕ with D square free and 2 ∤ k,B = 1,2 or 4 and μ i - 1 , 1 ( i = 1 , 2 ) , and let h ( - 2 1 - e D ) ( e = 0 o r 1 ) denote the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ( ( - 2 1 - e D ) ) . In this paper, we give the all-positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation Ax² + μ₁B = K((Ay² + μ₂B)/K)ⁿ, 2 ∤ n, n > 1 and we prove that if D > 1, then h ( - 2 1 - e D ) 0 ( m o d n ) , where D, and n satisfy k - 2 e + 1 = D x ² , x ∈ ℕ, 2 ∤ n, n > 1. The results are valuable for the realization of quadratic field cryptosystem.

Diophantine equations with Euler polynomials

Dijana Kreso, Csaba Rakaczki (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We determine decomposition properties of Euler polynomials and using a strong result relating polynomial decomposition and diophantine equations in two separated variables, we characterize those g(x) ∈ ℚ [x] for which the diophantine equation - 1 k + 2 k - + ( - 1 ) x x k = g ( y ) with k ≥ 7 may have infinitely many integer solutions. Apart from the exceptional cases we list explicitly, the equation has only finitely many integer solutions.
