Abstract: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $mathbbQ$ described by $y^2=x^3+Kx+L$ where $K,LinmathbbQ$. A set of rational points $(x_i,y_i)inE(mathbbQ)$ for $i=1,2,cdots,k$, is said to be a sequence of consecutive cubes on $E$ if the $x-$coordinates of the points $x_i$'s for $i=1,2,cdots$ form consecutive cubes. In this note, we show the existence of an infinite family of elliptic curves containing a length-$5$-term sequence of consecutive cubes. Morever, these five rational points in $E(mathbbQ)$ are linearly independent and the rank $r$ of $E(mathbbQ)$ is at least $5$.

Review text

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over \(\mathbb{Q}\) and, for any \(P\in E\), denote its coordinates by \((x_P,y_P)\). The paper deals with curves containing sequences of points \(P_i\) whose \(x\)-coordinates are consecutive cubes in \(\mathbb{Q}\), i.e. such that \(x_{P_0}=c^3\) and \(x_{P_i}=(c+i)^3\) for \(i\geqslant 1\). It is easy to see that such sequences have to be finite and the authors use explicit computations to write down parametric families of elliptic curves containing sequences of 5 points with \(x\)-coordinate \((c+i)^3\) with \(-2\leqslant i\leqslant 2\). Moreover, using MAGMA (and Silverman's specialization theorem), they also show that such points are independent and of infinite order so that all curves in the family have rank \(\geqslant 5\).
