Abstract: We study the solutions of the Rosenberg--Markoff equation ax^2+by^2+cz^2 = dxyz (a generalization of the well--known Markoff equation). We specifically focus on looking for solutions in arithmetic progression that lie in the ring of integers of a number field. With the help of previous work by Alvanos and Poulakis, we give a complete decision algorithm, which allows us to prove finiteness results concerning these particular solutions. Finally, some extensive computations are presented regarding two particular cases: the generalized Markoff equation x^2+y^2+z^2 = dxyz over quadratic fields and the classic Markoff equation x^2+y^2+z^2 = 3xyz over an arbitrary number field.

Review text

Markoff considered the Diophantine equation \(x^2+ y^2+ z^2= 3xyz\) over the integers. He described an algorithm to construct all integral solutions from one fundamental solution \((1,1,1)\). His method and result were extended to the equation \(ax^2+ by^2+ cz^2= dxyz\) over the integers [the reviewer, J. Reine Angew. Math. 305, 122--125 (1979; Zbl 0392.10018)] and over quadratic imaginary fields [\textit{Chr. Baer} and the reviewer, Result. Math. 33, No. 1--2, 30--39 (1998; Zbl 0930.11012)]. In the paper under review the authors consider solutions of the more general equation above in arithmetic progressions that lie the ring of integers of a number field and describe finiteness results for these solutions.
