Some Sums of Two Rational Cubes
The author shows that numbers of the shape \(n=25p\), \(p\equiv 2\pmod 9\), and \(n=25p^2\), \(p\equiv 5\pmod 9\) (\(p\) prime), can be expressed as the sum of two rational cubes. This is equivalent to showing that the rational elliptic curve \[ C_n: X^3+Y^3= nZ^3 \] has positive rank for the said \(n\). To establish these results, the author uses the `Heegner method' that was also employed by \textit{P. Satgé} [Invent. Math. 87, 425-439 (1987; Zbl 0616.14023)], who proved similar results for \(n=2p\), \(p\equiv 2\pmod 9\), and \(n= 2p^2\), \(p\equiv 5\pmod 9\) (\(p\) prime). The author constructs modular parametrizations for the curves \(C_n\) and manipulates specially selected complex points on them to produce rational points. The difficulty lies in showing that the rational points so obtained are nontrivial.
