Integral points on elliptic curves with $j$-invariant $0$ over $k(t)$
Abstract
We consider elliptic curves defined by an equation of the form , where has coefficients in a perfect field of characteristic not or . By performing and -descent, we obtain, under suitable assumptions on the factorization of , bounds for the number of integral points on these curves. These bounds improve on a general result by Hindry and Silverman. When has degree at most , we give exact expressions for the number of integral points of small height in terms of certain subgroups of Picard groups of the -curves corresponding to the and -torsion of our curve. This allows us to recover explicit results by Bremner, and gives new insight into Pillai's equation.
