A rational Diophantine triple is a set of three nonzero rational a,b,c with the property that ab+1, ac+1, bc+1 are perfect squares. We say that the elliptic curve y^2 = (ax+1)(bx+1)(cx+1) is induced by the triple {a,b,c}. In this paper, we…
Using the theory of Diophantine m-tuples, i.e. sets with the property that the product of its any two distinct elements increased by 1 is a perfect square, we construct an elliptic curve over Q(t) of rank at least 4 with three non-trivial…
Rational Diophantine triples, i.e. rationals a,b,c with the property that ab+1, ac+1, bc+1 are perfect squares, are often used in construction of elliptic curves with high rank. In this paper, we consider the opposite problem and ask how…
Given a Diophantine triple $\{c_1(t),c_2(t),c_3(t)\}$, the elliptic curve over Q(t) induced by this triple, i.e. $y^2=(c_1(t) x+1) (c_2(t) x+1) (c_3(t) x+1)$, can have as torsion group one of the non-cyclic groups in Mazur's theorem, i.e.…
We study the possible structure of the groups of rational points on elliptic curves of the form y^2=(ax+1)(bx+1)(cx+1), where a,b,c are non-zero rationals such that the product of any two of them is one less than a square.
The possible torsion groups of elliptic curves induced by Diophantine triples over quadratic fields, which do not appear over Q, are Z/2Z x Z/10Z, Z/2Z x Z/12Z and Z/4Z x Z/4Z. In this paper, we show that all these torsion groups indeed…
We prove that there exist infinitely many quartic rational Diophantine quadruples, that is, sets of four pairwise distinct nonzero rational numbers whose pairwise products increased by 1 are fourth powers in Q. To the best of our knowledge,…
We show that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$, up to isomorphism over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, for which the finitely generated group $E(\mathbb{Q})$ has rank exactly $2$. Our elliptic curves are given by explicit…
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.…
We show the existence of families of elliptic curves over Q whose generic rank is at least 2 for the torsion groups Z/8Z and Z/2Z x Z/6Z. Also in both cases we prove the existence of infinitely many elliptic curves, which are parameterized…
We give a complete characterization for the rational torsion of an elliptic curve in terms of the (non-)existence of integral solutions of a system of diophantine equations.
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ described by $y^2= x^3+ Kx+ L$ where $K, L \in \mathbb{Q}$. A set of rational points $(x_i,y_i) \in E(\mathbb{Q})$ for $i=1, 2, \cdots, k$, is said to be a sequence of consecutive cubes on $E$…
A famous problem posed by Diophantus was to find sets of distinct positive rational numbers such that the product of any two is one less than a rational square. Such Diophantine sets have been used to construct high rank elliptic curves.…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new family of elliptic curves with positive ranks. These elliptic curves have been constructed with certain rational numbers, namely a, b, and c as sides of Heron triangles having rational areas $k$.…
In this paper, we present details of seven elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(u)$ with rank $2$ and torsion group $\mathbb{Z}/ 8\mathbb{Z}$ and five curves over $\mathbb{Q}(u)$ with rank $2$ and torsion group $\mathbb{Z}/ 2\mathbb{Z} \times…
A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. Recently it was shown that the Diophantine equations describing such a cuboid…

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of elliptic curves whose rank is exactly two and the torsion subgroup is a cyclic group of order two or three, under the parity conjecture.
Let $C: y^2=ax^4+bx^2+c$, be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$. A set of rational points $(x_i,y_i) \in C(\mathbb Q)$, $i=1,2,\cdots,$ is said to be a sequence of consecutive squares if $x_i= (u + i)^2$, $i=1,2,\cdots$, for some…
