Elliptic curves containing sequences of consecutive cubes (Q1755467)

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 \(\geqslant 5\).
