J. W. S. Cassels, A note on the division values of ℘(u).Monsieur Y. Hellegouarch has pointed out to me that the inequality (131) of my paper “A note on the division values of ℘ (u)” (Proc. Cambridge Phil. Soc.45 (1949), 169–172) does not follow from the argument hinted there and is almost certainly incorrect. All the argument shows is that the rather weaker estimate in (132) holds for m = pk as well as for m = 2pk.The erroneous claim is reproduced in my report “Diophantine equations with special reference to elliptic curves” (J. London Math. Soc.41 (1966), 193–291) in expression (17.14) on page 247.

In this paper, by using elliptic curves theory, we study the quartic Diophantine equation (DE) { \sum_{i=1}^n a_ix_{i} ^4= \sum_{j=1}^na_j y_{j}^4 }, where a_i and n\geq3 are fixed arbitrary integers. We try to transform this quartic to a cubic elliptic curve of positive rank. We solve the equation for some values of a_i and n=3,4, and find infinitely many nontrivial solutions for each case in natural numbers, and show among other things, how some numbers can be written as sums of three, four, or more biquadrates in two different ways. While our method can be used for solving the equation for n\geq 3, this paper will be restricted to the examples where n=3,4. Finally, we explain how to solve more general cases (n\geq 4) without giving concrete examples to case n\geq 5.

AbstractModular curves likeX0(N) andX1(N) appear very frequently in arithmetic geometry. While their complex points are obtained as a quotient of the upper half plane by some subgroups of SL2(ℤ), they allow for a more arithmetic description as a solution to a moduli problem. We wish to give such a moduli description for two other modular curves, denoted here byXnsp(p) andXnsp+(p) associated to non-split Cartan subgroups and their normaliser in GL2(𝔽p). These modular curves appear for instance in Serre's problem of classifying all possible Galois structures ofp-torsion points on elliptic curves over number fields. We give then a moduli-theoretic interpretation and a new proof of a result of Chen (Proc. London Math. Soc.(3)77(1) (1998), 1–38;J. Algebra231(1) (2000), 414–448).

In this paper, we develop machinery to solve ternary Diophantine equations of the shape Ax n + By n = C z3 for various choices of coefficients (A, B, C). As a byproduct of this, we show, if p is prime, that the equation x n + y n = pz3 has no solutions in coprime integers x and y with |xy| > 1 and prime n > p4p2. The techniques employed enable us to classify all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with a rational 3-torsion point and good reduction outside the set {3, p}, for a fixed prime p.

We provide a precise description of the integer points on elliptic curves of the shape y2 = x3 - N2x, where N = 2apb for prime p. By way of example, if p ≡ ±3 (mod 8) and p > 29, we show that all such points necessarily have y = 0. Our proofs rely upon lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms, a variety of old and new results on quartic and other Diophantine equations, and a large amount of (non-trivial) computation.
