Abstract

A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form a3+b3a^3+b^3 with a,bQ×a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer k1k\geq 1, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers nn with exactly kk distinct prime factors such that 2n2n is a cube sum (resp. not a cube sum). We give also a general construction of Heegner point and obtain an explicit Gross-Zagier formula which is used to prove the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for certain elliptic curve related to the cube sum problem.
