Abstract
Let be a smooth projective curve defined over , let be an elliptic surface and let be sections of (corresponding to points of the generic fiber of ). We obtain a precise characterization, expressed solely in terms of the dynamical relations between the points with respect to the endomorphism ring of , so that there exist infinitely many with the property that for some nonzero integers , we have that (for ) on the smooth fiber of .
