In this paper, we investigate solutions to the Diophantine equation $ A a^p + B b^p = C c^3 $ over number fields using the modular method. Assuming certain standard modularity conjectures, we first establish an asymptotic result for general…
Let $K$ be a number field and $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers of $K$. In this article, we study the solutions of the generalized fruit Diophantine equation $ax^d-y^2-z^2 +xyz-c=0$ over $K$, where $d \geq 3$ is an integer and $a,c\in…
We prove that the Diophantine equation (a^2 c x^k - 1)(b^2 c y^k - 1) = (abc z^k - 1)^2 has no solutions in positive integers with x, y, z > 1, k \geq 7 and a^2x^k \neq b^2y^k.
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…
Let $p\geq 3$ be a prime number. A Fermat curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ of exponent $p$ is defined by an equation of the shape $ax^p+by^p+cz^p=0$, where $a,b,c$ are non-zero rational numbers. We prove in this article that there exist infinitely…
Using the modular method, we study solutions to the Diophantine equation $$Aa^p+Bb^p=Cc^2$$ over number fields. We first prove an asymptotic result for general number fields satisfying an appropriate $S$-unit condition by assuming some…
Let k => 1, m => 1 be small fixed integers, gcd(k, m) = 1. This note develops some techniques for proving the existence of infinitely many primes solutions x = p, and y = q of the linear Diophantine equation y = mx + k.
In this note we consider the title Diophantine equation from both theoretical as well as experimental point of view. In particular, we prove that for $k=4, 6$ and each choice of the signs our equation has infinitely many co-prime positive…
In this paper, we sharpen earlier work of the first author, Luca and Mulholland, showing that the Diophantine equation $$ A^3+B^3 = q^\alpha C^p, \, \, ABC \neq 0, \, \, \gcd (A,B) =1, $$ has, for "most" primes $q$ and suitably large prime…
We show that the Diophantine equation given by X^3+ XYZ = Y^2+Z^2+5 has no integral solution. As a consequence, we show that the family of elliptic curve given by the Weierstrass equations Y^2-kXY = X^3 - (k^2+5) has no integral point.
We show that the generalized Fermat equations with signatures (5,5,7), (5,5,19), and (7,7,5) (and unit coefficients) have no non-trivial primitive integer solutions. Assuming GRH, we also prove the nonexistence of non-trivial primitive…
We provide the necessary conditions for the existence of solutions $(x,y,z)$ to $Ax^p+By^p+Cz^p=0$ over any quadratic number field $K$ with $A,B,C$ pth powerfree integer numbers. We determine when $x$, $y$ and $z$ are rational numbers for…
We consider the Diophantine equation $x^4 + y^4 - w^2 = n$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, which is related to near misses for the quartic case of Fermat's Last Theorem. For certain $n$ we show that the set of solutions is infinite, or more…
In this paper, first, we prove that the Diophantine system \[f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)-f(v)=f(p)f(q)\] has infinitely many integer solutions for $f(X)=X(X+a)$ with nonzero integers $a\equiv 0,1,4\pmod{5}$. Second, we show that the above…
Let $K$ be a totally real field, and $r\geq 5$ a fixed rational prime. In this paper, we use the modular method as presented in the recent work of Freitas and Siksek to study non-trivial, primitive solutions $(x,y,z) \in \mathcal{O}_K^3$ of…
We propose a method to determine the solvability of the diophantine equation $x^2-Dy^2=n$ for the following two cases: $(1)$ $D=pq$, where $p,q\equiv 1 \mod 4$ are distinct primes with $(\frac{q}{p})=1$ and…
In this paper, we study the integer solutions of a family of Fermat-type equations of signature $(2, 2n, n)$, $Cx^2 + q^ky^{2n} = z^n$. We provide an algorithmically testable set of conditions which, if satisfied, imply the existence of a…
Let $K$ be a number field. Using the modular method, we prove asymptotic results on solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^4-y^2=z^p$ over $K$, assuming some deep but standard conjectures of the Langlands programme when $K$ has at least…
Let $\ell$ and $p$ be (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers and $F$ be a global function field of characteristic $\ell$ with field of constants $\kappa$. Assume that there exists a prime $P_\infty$ of $F$ which has degree $1$, and let…
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…
