A constructive proof of Masser’s Theorem

Abstract: The Modified Szpiro Conjecture, equivalent to the

a b c

Conjecture, states that for each

e p s i l o n > 0

, there are finitely many rational elliptic curves satisfying

N_{E}^{6 + e p s i l o n} < m a x! l e f t l e f t v e r t c_{4}^{3} i g h t v e r t, c_{6}^{2} i g h t

where

c_{4}

and

c_{6}

are the invariants associated to a minimal model of

E

and

N_{E}

is the conductor of

E

. We say

E

is a good elliptic curve if

N_{E}^{6} < m a x! l e f t l e f t v e r t c_{4}^{3} i g h t v e r t, c_{6}^{2} i g h t

. Masser showed that there are infinitely many good Frey curves. Here we give a constructive proof of this assertion.
