Let $p$ be a prime number. In the early 2000s, it was proved that the Fermat equations with coefficients \[3x^p + 8y^p + 21z^p =0\quad \text{ and } \quad 3x^p + 4y^p + 5z^p=0 \] do not admit non-trivial solutions for a set of exponents $p$…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. We study the behavior of the Tate--Shafarevich group of $E$ under quadratic extensions $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})/\mathbb{Q}$. By analyzing the cokernel of the restriction map, without assuming the…
In this paper, we consider the equation \[ x^2 - q^{2k+1} = y^n, \qquad q \nmid x, \quad 2 \mid y, \] for integers $x,q,k,y$ and $n$, with $k \geq 0$ and $n \geq 3$. We extend work of the first and third-named authors by finding all…
Let $f\in\Q[x]$ be a square-free polynomial of degree $\geq 3$ and $m\geq 3$ be an odd positive integer. Based on our earlier investigations we prove that there exists a function $D_{1}\in\Q(u,v,w)$ such that the Jacobians of the curves…
In this article, we show that the quartic Diophantine equations $x^4 \pm pqy^4=\pm z^2$ and $ x^4 \pm pq y^4= \pm iz^2$ have only trivial solutions for some primes $p$ and $q$ satisfying conditions $ p \equiv 3 \pmod 8, ~ q \equiv 1 \pmod 8…
In his breakthrough article, Darmon presented a program to study Generalized Fermat Equations (GFE) via abelian varieties of $\text{GL}_2$-type over totally real fields. So far, only Jacobians of some Frey hyperelliptic curves have been…
We obtain best possible results for the number of coprime positive integer solutions of the equation in the title when $a$ is a positive integer, $b=p^{m}$, $2p^{m}$ or $4p^{m}$, where $m$ is a non-negative integer, $p$ is prime, $\gcd…
We obtain two parametric solutions of the diophantine equation $\phi(x_1, x_2, x_3)=\phi(y_1, y_2, y_3)$ where $\phi(x_1, x_2, x_3)$ is the octic form defined by $\phi(x_1, x_2, x_3)=x_1^8+ x_2^8 + x_3^8 - 2x_1^4x_2^4 - 2x_1^4x_3^4 -…
Let $E$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over the field $\Fp(t)$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We study the arithmetic of $E$ over extensions $\Fq(t^{1/d})$ where $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is an integer prime to $p$. The rank of $E$…
We give a method to solve generalized Fermat equations of type $x^4 + y^4 = q z^p$, for some prime values of $q$ and every prime $p$ bigger than 13. We illustrate the method by proving that there are no solutions for $q= 73, 89$ and 113.
In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation $x^2+q^{2m}=2y^p$ where $m,p,q,x,y$ are integer unknowns with $m>0,$ $p$ and $q$ are odd primes and $\gcd(x,y)=1.$ We prove that there are only finitely many solutions $(m,p,q,x,y)$ for…
We study the problem of the existence of arithmetic progressions of three cubes over quadratic number fields Q(sqrt(D)), where D is a squarefree integer. For this purpose, we give a characterization in terms of Q(sqrt(D))-rational points on…
We solve the Diophantine equation $Y^2=X^3+k$ for all nonzero integers $k$ with $|k| \leq 10^7$. Our approach uses a classical connection between these equations and cubic Thue equations. The latter can be treated algorithmically via lower…
Using only elementary arguments, Cassels solved the Diophantine equation $(x-1)^3+x^3+(x+1)^3=z^2$ in integers $x$, $z$. The generalization $(x-1)^k+x^k+(x+1)^k=z^n$ (with $x$, $z$, $n$ integers and $n \ge 2$) was considered by Zhongfeng…
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.…
