Refined Selmer equations for the thrice-punctured line in depth two

Number Theory 2024-11-01 v2

Abstract

In [Kim05], Kim gave a new proof of Siegel's Theorem that there are only finitely many SS-integral points on PZ1{0,1,}\mathbb P^1_{\mathbb Z}\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}. One advantage of Kim's method is that it in principle allows one to actually find these points, but the calculations grow vastly more complicated as the size of SS increases. In this paper, we implement a refinement of Kim's method to explicitly compute various examples where SS has size 22 which has been introduced in [BD19]. In so doing, we exhibit new examples of a natural generalisation of a conjecture of Kim.
