Thue-Mahler equations (11D59)

Abstract: Let $FinmathbbZ[x,y]$ be an irreducible binary form of degree $dgeq7$ and content one. Let $alpha$ be a root of $F(x,1)$ and assume that the field extension $mathbbQ(alpha)/mathbbQ$ is Galois. We prove that, for every sufficiently large prime power $p^k$, the number of solutions to the Diophantine equation of Thue type ${\displaystyle }$ |F(x, y)| = tp^k ${\displaystyle }$ in integers $(x,y,t)$ such that $gcd(x,y)=1$ and $1leqtleq(p^k{)}^{l}ambda$ does not exceed $24$. Here $lambda=lambda(d)$ is a certain positive, monotonously increasing function that approaches one as $d$ tends to infinity. We also prove that, for every sufficiently large prime number $p$, the number of solutions to the Diophantine equation of Thue-Mahler type ${\displaystyle }$ |F(x, y)| = tp^z ${\displaystyle }$ in integers $(x,y,z,t)$ such that $gcd(x,y)=1$, $zgeq1$ and $1leqtleq(p^z{)}^{frac10d-6120d+40}$ does not exceed 1992. Our proofs follow from the combination of two principles of Diophantine approximation, namely the generalized non-Archimedean gap principle and the Thue-Siegel principle.
