Review text

The author studies rational curves on the surface \(ax^3+by^3+cz^3=dt^3\) for cube-free rational numbers \(a,b,c,d\) extending work done by \textit{B. Segre} [Math. Notae 11, 1--68 (1951; Zbl 0043.27501)] and \textit{H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer} [1969 Number Theory Inst., Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 20, 1--52 (1971; Zbl 0228.14001)]. The author shows that there are no curves of arithmetic genus 0 defined over \(\mathbb Q\) unless (after permuting coordinates) \(a=b=1\) and \(c=d\). For the surface \(x^3+y^3- cz^3=ct^3\), he shows that there are exactly two such curves if \(c\neq 2\), and four if \(c=2\); and he gives explicit equations for these curves. Finally he generalizes an example of \textit{D. H. Lehmer} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 31, 275--280 (1956; Zbl 0072.26804)] to show that the surfaces \(x^3+y^3+cz^3=ct^3\) contain infinitely many curves defined over \(\mathbb Q\) of geometric genus 0 and arithmetic genus greater than 0.
