On the finiteness of perfect powers in elliptic divisibility sequences (Q6159590): Difference between revisions

Let \(E / \mathbb{Q}\) be an elliptic curve given in Weierstrass form and \(P \in E(\mathbb{Q})\) be a non-torsion point. For all \(m \in \mathbb{N}\), we can write \[ mP=(A_m/B_m^2, (C_m/B_m^3), \] where \(A_m, B_m, C_m\) are integers, \(B_m \neq 0\) and \(\gcd(A_m, B_m) =\gcd(C_m, B_m)=1\). We say that \(\{B_m\}\) is the elliptic divisibility sequence generated by \(P\). In this paper, the author proves the finiteness of perfect powers in elliptic divisibility sequences generated by a non-integral point in a new class of elliptic curves (that is \(y^2=x(x^2+b)\)), namely the result is as follows: \textbf{Theorem.} Let \(\{B_m\}\) be an elliptic divisibility sequence generated by a non-integral point on any elliptic curve over \(\mathbb{Q}\) of the form \[ E: y^2=x(x^2+b), \] where \(b\) is a positive integer. Then there are finitely many perfect powers in \(\{B_m\}\).
