On the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c²

Michael A. Bennett, Imin Chen, Sander R. Dahmen, Soroosh Yazdani (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

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.

On the extendability of elliptic surfaces of rank two and higher

Angelo Felice Lopez, Roberto Muñoz, José Carlos Sierra (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study threefolds X r having as hyperplane section a smooth surface with an elliptic fibration. We first give a general theorem about the possible embeddings of such surfaces with Picard number two. More precise results are then proved for Weierstrass fibrations, both of rank two and higher. In particular we prove that a Weierstrass fibration of rank two that is not a K3 surface is not hyperplane section of a locally complete intersection threefold and we give some conditions, for many embeddings...

On the generalized principal ideal theorem of complex multiplication

Reinhard Schertz (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In the p n -th cyclotomic field p n , p a prime number, n , the prime p is totally ramified and the only ideal above p is generated by ω n = ζ p n - 1 , with the primitive p n -th root of unity ζ p n = e 2 π i p n . Moreover these numbers represent a norm coherent set, i.e. N p n + 1 / p n ( ω n + 1 ) = ω n . It is the aim of this article to establish a similar result for the ray class field K 𝔭 n of conductor 𝔭 n over an imaginary quadratic number field K where 𝔭 n is the power of a prime ideal in K . Therefore the exponential function has to be replaced by a suitable elliptic function....
