Abstract
We study the integral points on , where is the branch locus of a projection from an hypersurface in to a hyperplane . In doing that we follow the approach proposed in a paper by Zannier but we prove a more general result that also gives a sharper bound that may lead to prove the finiteness of integral points and has more applications. The proofs we present in this paper are effective and they provide a way to actually construct a set containing all the integral points in question. Our results find a concrete application to Diophantine equations, more specifically to the problem of finding integral solutions to equations , where is a given nonzero value and is a homogeneous form defining the branch locus .
