Abstract

Let f(z)=z5+az3+bz2+cz+dZ[z]f(z)=z^5+az^3+bz^2+cz+d \in \Z[z] and let us consider a del Pezzo surface of degree one given by the equation Ef:x2y3f(z)=0\cal{E}_{f}: x^2-y^3-f(z)=0. In this note we prove that if the set of rational points on the curve Ea,b:Y2=X3+135(2a15)X1350(5a+2b26)E_{a, b}:Y^2=X^3+135(2a-15)X-1350(5a+2b-26) is infinite, then the set of rational points on the surface Ef\cal{E}_{f} is dense in the Zariski topology.
