1. Introduction. A well-known theorem of Siegel(5) states that there exist only a finite number of integer points on any curve of genus ≥ 1. Siegel's proof, published in 1929, depended, inter alia, on his earlier work concerning rational approximations to algebraic numbers and on Weil's recently established generalization of Mordell's finite basis theorem. Both of these possess a certain non-effective character and thus it is clear that Siegel's argument cannot provide an algorithm for determining all the integer points on the curve. The purpose of the present paper is to establish such an algorithm in the case of curves of genus 1.

AbstractWe derive a Mal'cev condition for congruence meet-semidistributivity and then use it to prove two theorems. Theorem A: if a variety in a finite language is congruence meet-semidistributive and residually less than some finite cardinal, then it is finitely based. Theorem B: there is an algorithm which, given m < ω and a finite algebra in a finite language, determines whether the variety generated by the algebra is congruence meet-semidistributive and residually less than m.

0. Mordell proved his ‘Finite Basis Theorem’ in the paper [31] ‘On the rational solutions of the indeterminate equations of the third and fourth degrees’ which appeared in 1922 in Volume 21 of these Proceedings. It had been assumed, rather than conjectured, by Poincaré some 20 years previously, but it was not what he had set out to prove. The theorem and its generalizations are at the heart of many of the most interesting achievements and problems of the theory of numbers and also of algebraic geometry. Mordell himself had virtually no part in these developments: his great work was to lie elsewhere ([5]).
