Integral points on certain elliptic curves (Q2389034): Difference between revisions

The authors determine all integral points on the elliptic curve \(E: y^2 = x^3 - 9x + 28\). All such points come from three descendants, which are given as intersections of quadrics. These are transformed into three quartic equations that factor over quartic number fields containing \(\sqrt{-3}\). Using information on unit and class groups of these fields, and applying Skolem's p-adic method [\textit{R. J. Stroeker} and \textit{N. Tzanakis}, J. Number Theory 29, No. 2, 166--195 (1988; Zbl 0674.10012)], the authors show that the only integral points on \(E\) are \((-4,0)\), \((-1, \pm 6)\), \((9, \pm 26)\) and \((764396, \pm 668309460)\).
