Let $F(x,y)$ be an irreducible form of degree $r\geq 3$ and having $s+1$ non-zero coefficients. Let $h\geq 1$ be an integer and consider the Thue inequality $$|F(x,y)|\leq h.$$ Following the seminal work of Thue in 1909, several papers were…

We establish some upper bounds for the number of integer solutions to the Thue inequality $|F(x , y)| \leq m$, where $F$ is a binary form of degree $n \geq 3$ and with non-zero discriminant $D$, and $m$ is an integer. Our upper bounds are…

Let $F(x, y)$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, degree $n\geq 3$ and irreducible over the rationals. Suppose that only $s + 1$ of the $n + 1$ coefficients of $F$ are nonzero. We show that the Thue inequality $|F(x,y)|\leq m$ has…

Let $t$ be any imaginary quadratic integer with $|t|\geq 100$. We prove that the inequality \[ |F_t(X,Y)| = | X^4 - t X^3 Y - 6 X^2 Y^2 + t X Y^3 + Y^4 | \leq 1 \] has only trivial solutions $(x,y)$ in integers of the same imaginary…

A solution $(x,y,z) \in \mathbb{Z}^3-\{(0,0,0)\}$ to a generalized Fermat equation \[ Ax^a + By^b + Cz^c = 0, \] is called \emph{primitive} if $\gcd(x,y,z) = 1$. By work of Beukers, we know that in the \emph{spherical} regime (that is, when…
