Without assuming the Northcott property we provide an upper bound on the number of "big solutions" of a special system of Diophantine inequalities over proper adelic curves. This system is interesting since it is a stronger version Roth's…

The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…

Let $C_n=n2^n+1$ denote the $n$th Cullen number. There has been recent interest in finding all Cullen numbers having a given Diophantine property. We prove that, for a fixed integer $k$ and bounded integers $a_1,\ldots,a_k$, the greatest…

For the integer $ D=pq$ of the product of two distinct odd primes, we construct an elliptic curve $E_{2rD}:y^2=x^3-2rDx$ over $\mathbb Q$, where $r$ is a parameter dependent on the classes of $p$ and $q$ modulo 8, and show, under the parity…

The quadruple $(1\,484\,801, 1\,203\,120, 1\,169\,407, 1\,157\,520)$ already known is essentially the only non-trivial solution of the Diophantine equation $x^4 + 2 y^4 = z^4 + 4 w^4$ for $|x|$, $|y|$, $|z|$, and $|w|$ up to one hundred…

We discuss the problem of finding optimal exponents in Diophantine estimates involving one real number and, in some cases where such an exponent is known, present some properties of the corresponding extremal numbers.

We obtain an essentially optimal estimate for the moment of order 32/3 of the exponential sum having argument $\alpha x^3+\beta x^2$. Subject to modest local solubility hypotheses, we thereby establish that pairs of diagonal Diophantine…

We generalize Khintchine's method of constructing totally irrational singular vectors and linear forms. The main result of the paper shows existence of totally irrational vectors and linear forms with large uniform Diophantine exponents on…

Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…

Let Q be an infinite set of positive integers. Denote by W(Q) the set of n-tuples of real numbers simultaneously tau-well approximable by infinitely many rationals with denominators in Q but only by finitely many rationals with denominators…

Abelian Cayley digraphs can be constructed by using a generalization to $Z^n$ of the concept of congruence in $Z$. Here we use this approach to present a family of such digraphs, which, for every fixed value of the degree, have…

This paper initiates a novel research direction in the theory of Diophantine equations: define an appropriate version of the equation's size, order all polynomial Diophantine equations starting from the smallest ones, and then solve the…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero, V a smooth, positive-dimensional, quasiprojective variety over k, and D a nonempty effective divisor on V. Let K be the function field of V, and A the semilocal ring of D in K. In this paper, we…

Given an elliptic curve ${\mathcal E}$ over a field $K$ it is a challenging problem to write down explicit elements of its endomorphism ring ${\rm End}({\mathcal E});$ the problem amounts to find all possible solutions to a functional…

By following the same construction pattern which Martin Davis proposed in a 1968 paper of his, we have obtained six quaternary quartic Diophantine equations that candidate as `rule-them-all' equations: proving that one of them has only a…

A formalism is given to count integer and rational solutions to polynomial equations with rational coefficients. These polynomials $P(x)$ are parameterized by three integers, labeling an elliptic curve. The counting of the rational…

Finding integer solutions to norm form equations is a classical Diophantine problem. Using the units of the associated coefficient ring, we can produce sequences of solutions to these equations. It is known that these solutions can be…

Catalan's conjecture claims that the Diophantine equation $x^p-y^q=1$ admits the unique solution $3^2-2^3=1$ in integers $x,y,p,q \ge 2$. The conjecture has been finally proved by P. Mih\u{a}ilescu (2002) using the theory of cyclotomic…

We study diophantine equations of the form ${a_1 + \ldots + a_n = 0}$ where the $a_i$'s are assumed to be coprime and to satisfy certain subsum conditions. We are interested in the limit superior of the qualities of the admissible solutions…

For any quadratic extension $L/K$ of number fields, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E$ over $K$ so that the abelian groups $E(K)$ and $E(L)$ both have rank $1$. In particular, there are infinitely many elliptic…
