Some Diophantine equations related to positive-rank elliptic curves

Number Theory 2013-04-05 v1

Abstract

We give conditions on the rational numbers a,b,c which imply that there are infinitely many triples (x,y,z) of rational numbers such that x+y+z=a+b+c and xyz=abc. We do the same for the equations x+y+z=a+b+c and x^3+y^3+z^3=a^3+b^3+c^3. These results rely on exhibiting families of positive-rank elliptic curves.
