Let $\mathcal{F}_g$ be the family of monic odd-degree hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Poonen and Stoll have shown that for every $g \geq 3$, a positive proportion of curves in $\mathcal{F}_g$ have no rational points…

We introduce several new methods to obtain upper bounds on the number of solutions of the congruences $f(x) \equiv y \pmod p$ and $f(x) \equiv y^2 \pmod p,$ with a prime $p$ and a polynomial $f$, where $(x,y)$ belongs to an arbitrary square…

In the three-dimensional projective space PG(3,q) over the finite field F_q with q elements, we consider the normal rational curve known as a twisted cubic and the projectivity group G_q that fixes it. For q = 2, 3, 4, we solve the open…

In this article we explicitly describe irreducible trinomials X^3-aX+b which gives all the cyclic cubic extensions of Q. In doing so, we construct all integral points (x,y,z) with GCD(y,z)=1, of the curves X^2+3Y^2 = 4DZ^3 and…

Let k be a quadratic field. We give an explicit formula for the Dirichlet series enumerating cubic fields whose quadratic resolvent field is isomorphic to k. Our work is a sequel to previous work of Cohen and Morra, where such formulas are…

Using elementary number theory we study Diophantine equations over the rational integers of the following form, $y^2=(x+a)(x+a+k)(x+b)(x+b+k)$, $y^2=c^2x^4+ax^2+b$ and $y^2=(x^2-1)(x^2-\alpha^2)(x^2-(\alpha+1)^2).$ We express their integer…

In this paper we consider Diophantine equations of the form $f(x)=g(y)$ where $f$ has simple rational roots and $g$ has rational coefficients. We give strict conditions for the cases where the equation has infinitely many solutions in…

Integer solutions of the diophantine equation $A^4+hB^4=C^4+hD^4$ are known for all positive integer values of $h < 1000$. While a solution of the aforementioned diophantine equation for any arbitrary positive integer value of $h$ is not…

Given a quintic number field $K/\mathbb{Q}$, we study the set of irreducible trinomials, polynomials of the form $x^{5} + ax + b$, that have a root in $K$. We show that there is a genus four curve $C_{K}$ whose rational points are in…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a squarefree integer $d$ for there to be non-trivial solutions to $x^{3} + y^{3} = z^{3}$ in $\Q(\sqrt{d})$, conditional on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. These conditions are…

Some thoughts on the congruence D=0,1(mod 4) for the absolute discriminant D of a number field

In this paper, we analyze the theta series associated to the quadratic form $Q(\mathbf{x}) := x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 + x_4^2$ with congruence conditions on $x_i$ modulo $2, 3, 4$, and $6$. By employing special operators on modular,…

By the theory of elliptic curves, we study the nontrivial rational parametric solutions and rational solutions of the Diophantine equations $z^2=f(x)^2 \pm g(y)^2$ for some simple Laurent polynomials $f$ and $g$.

The main aim of this article is to find all solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^2 + p^k=y^n$ where $p \equiv 1 \pmod 4$, $\frac{p-1}{3}$ is a perfect square and the class number of $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-p}]$ is $2$. In this article, I…

To each quadratic number field $K$ and each quadratic polynomial $f$ with $K$-coefficients, one can associate a finite directed graph $G(f,K)$ whose vertices are the $K$-rational preperiodic points for $f$, and whose edges reflect the…

We deeply investigate the Diophantine equation $cx^2+d^{2m+1}=2y^n$ in integers $x, y\geq 1, m\geq 0$ and $n\geq 3$, where $c$ and $d$ are given coprime positive integers such that $cd\not\equiv 3 \pmod 4$. We first solve this equation for…

We establish estimates for the number of solutions of certain affine congruences. These estimates are then used to prove Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q and whose singularity type is D_4. This improves on a result of…

By using pairs of nontrivial rational solutions of congruent number equation $$ C_N:\;\;y^2=x^3-N^2x, $$ constructed are pairs of rational right (Pythagorean) triangles with one common side and the other sides equal to the sum and…

In this paper, we use the method of Thue and Siegel, based on explicit Pade approximations to algebraic functions, to completely solve a family of quartic Thue equations. From this result, we can also solve the diophantine equation in the…

Let $C$ be a curve defined over a number field $K$. A point $P\in C(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ is called $K$-quadratic if $[K(P):K]=2$. Let $K$ be a number field such that the rank of the elliptic curves $E_1:\,y^2= x^3 + 4x$ and $E_2:\,y^2=…
