Diophantine equations are polynomial equations $F=0$, or systems of polynomial equations $F_1=\ldots=F_k=0$, where $F,F_1,\ldots,F_k$ are polynomials in either $\mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ of $\mathbb{Q}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ of which it is asked to find solutions over $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Q}$. Topics: Pell equations, quadratic forms, elliptic curves, abelian varieties, hyperelliptic curves, Thue equations, normic forms, K3 surfaces ...

Hilbert 10th problem for cubic equations

Update. I think, now the solution to this beautiful equation is complete. The equation $$2 x^2 - y x z + 2 z^2 = y^2 - 9 y + 23$$ is equivalent to $$X^2 - f_1Y^2 = 8f_2$$ where $X = 4x - yz$, $Y = z$, …

3-dimensional Boolean cube of Squares

If such $(A, B, C)$ exist, then $(\sqrt{A}, \sqrt{B}, \sqrt{C})$ are sides of a perfect cuboid (see here). Such a cuboid has not yet been found.

Positive integers such that $(x+y)(xy-1)=z^2+1$

As you have already noticed, we may assume that $x \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$, $y \equiv 2 \pmod{4}$. Let $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ be a prime divisor of $y + 1 \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ such that $\nu_p(y+1) \equiv 1 \ …

On the shortest open cubic equation

Jacobi symbols help again. Let $x' = -x$, $z = 2z'$. In each case, we have enough information modulo 4 or 8 to calculate Jacobi symbol. case 1. $x > 0$, $z \equiv 1 \pmod{2}$ $$ x + Y^2 = (z^2 - 2x^2) …

On the equation $9x^3+y^3=z^2+3$

This equation is unsolvable. Modulo 9 analysis shows that $z \ne 0 \pmod{3}$ and $z \ne \pm 1 \pmod{9}$. Let $p$ be a prime divisor of $z^2 + 3$ for which 3 is not a cubic residue. From $$z^2 + 3 = 1/ …

On the equation $7x^3 + 2y^3 = 3z^2 + 1$

This is not a solution, but a promising approach to the problem. I tried to apply the method I used to solve the equation $$9x^3 + y^3 = z^2 + 3$$ The following conjecture seems to be true. Let $3z^2 …

Can you solve the listed smallest open Diophantine equations?

The equation $$y^2 - x^3y + z^3 + 3 = 0$$ has no solutions. Let $t = x^3 - 2y$. Then $$x^6 - 4z^3 = t^2 + 12$$ Modulo 9 analysis shows that $t$ is not divisible by 3. Modulo 32 analysis shows that $t$ …

$y^3=x^4+x$, and computing all rational points on rank $0$ Picard curves

Let $x = \frac{a}{d}$, $y = \frac{b}{d}$, $\gcd(a, d, b) = 1$. $$b^3d = a^4 + ad^3$$ Suppose $p \mid a$ and $p \mid d$ for prime $p$. Then $b$ is not divisible by $p$. $$\nu_p(d) = \nu_p(a^4 + ad^3) …

Representing $x^3-2$ as a sum of two squares

One more way to solve the problem. Let $x = 4t + 3$. Then $$x^3 - 2 = 16t^2(4t + 9) + (108t + 25).$$ The system $$4t + 9 = a^2 \qquad 108t + 25 = b^2$$ has infinitely many solutions. It is reduced to …

A cubic equation, and integers of the form $a^2+32b^2$

Update 2. Now the proof should be more readable. I deleted some content because it is replaced by more elegant version. The equation is unsolvable. The proof requires two theorems Theorem 1. Let $p = …
