Abstract
We show that the spectrum of every isotropic homogeneous binary form of degree is an interval of the form where is some positive constant. This completes the discussion around a conjecture of Mordell from 1940 (disproved by Davenport) regarding the existence of spectral gaps for binary cubic forms and further settles Mahler's program for binary forms of every degree.
