Abstract. We completely solve diophantine equations of the form Y 2 = X 3 ± p k X, where k is a positive integer, using a reduction to some quartic elliptic equations, which can be solved with well known methods.
We obtain a quantitative version of the classical Chevalley-Weil theorem for curves. Let φ :C → C be an unramified morphism of non-singular plane projective curves defined over a number field K. We calculate an effective upper bound for the norm of the relative discriminant of the number field K(Q) over K for any point P ∈ C(K) and Q ∈ φ −1 (P ).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
