Commutative algebraic groups and p-adic linear forms

Clemens Fuchs, Duc Hiep Pham (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Let G be a commutative algebraic group defined over a number field K that is disjoint over K from a and satisfies the condition of semistability. Consider a linear form l on the Lie algebra of G with algebraic coefficients and an algebraic point u in a p-adic neighbourhood of the origin with the condition that l does not vanish at u. We give a lower bound for the p-adic absolute value of l(u) which depends up to an effectively computable constant only on the height of the linear form, the height...

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, ...?

Explicit lower bounds for linear forms in two logarithms

Nicolas Gouillon (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give an explicit lower bound for linear forms in two logarithms. For this we specialize the so-called Schneider method with multiplicity described in [10]. We substantially improve the numerical constants involved in existing statements for linear forms in two logarithms, obtained from Baker’s method or Schneider’s method with multiplicity. Our constant is around 5 . 10 4 instead of 10 8 .

Factors of a perfect square

Tsz Ho Chan (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We consider a conjecture of Erdős and Rosenfeld and a conjecture of Ruzsa when the number is a perfect square. In particular, we show that every perfect square n can have at most five divisors between n - n ( l o g n ) 1 / 7 and n + n ( l o g n ) 1 / 7 .

Fermat k -Fibonacci and k -Lucas numbers

Jhon J. Bravo, Jose L. Herrera (2020)

Mathematica Bohemica

Using the lower bound of linear forms in logarithms of Matveev and the theory of continued fractions by means of a variation of a result of Dujella and Pethő, we find all k -Fibonacci and k -Lucas numbers which are Fermat numbers. Some more general results are given.
