We prove Manin’s conjecture for a del Pezzo surface of degree six which has one singularity of type . Moreover, we achieve a meromorphic continuation and explicit expression of the associated height zeta function.
We study the family of elliptic curves y² = x(x-a²)(x-b²) parametrized by Pythagorean triples (a,b,c). We prove that for a generic triple the lower bound of the rank of the Mordell-Weil group over ℚ is 1, and for some explicitly given infinite family the rank is 2. To each family we attach an elliptic surface fibered over the projective line. We show that the lower bounds for the rank are optimal, in the sense that for each generic fiber of such an elliptic surface its corresponding Mordell-Weil...
Let F(X,Y) be an irreducible binary cubic form with integer coefficients and positive discriminant D. Let k be a positive integer satisfying . We give improved upper bounds for the number of primitive solutions of the Thue inequality .
The number of solutions of the congruence in the box is estimated from below in the best possible way, provided for all i,j either or or .
Let and a,q ∈ ℚ. Denote by the set of rational numbers d such that a, a + q, ..., a + (m-1)q form an arithmetic progression in the Edwards curve . We study the set and we parametrize it by the rational points of an algebraic curve.
We show that, with suitable modification, the upper bound estimates of Stolt for the fundamental integer solutions of the Diophantine equation Au²+Buv+Cv²=N, where A>0, N≠0 and B²-4AC is positive and nonsquare, in fact characterize the fundamental solutions. As a corollary, we get a corresponding result for the equation u²-dv²=N, where d is positive and nonsquare, in which case the upper bound estimates were obtained by Nagell and Chebyshev.
