Abstract: In this paper we present some extensions of the Ailon-Rudnick Theorem, which says that if $f,ginmathbbC[T]$, then $gcd(f^n-1,g^m-1)$ is bounded for all $n,mge1$. More precisely, using a uniform bound for the number of torsion points on curves and results on the intersection of curves with algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $2$, we present two such extensions in the univariate case. We also give two multivariate analogues of the Ailon-Rudnick Theorem based on Hilbert's irreducibility theorem and a result of Granville and Rudnick about torsion points on hypersurfaces.
