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 ...

Diophantine problem
My guess is that it doesn't work. But I think elementary methods are your friend here. For example the two equations seem set up to apply the AM-GM inequality here, which apparently yields a compariso …

4900, a particularly square number
This is a classical Diophantine equation (Mordell, Diophantine Equations, p. 258). Apart from n = 0, 1, -1, there is only the solution n = 24. Proofs by G. N. Watson (1919), W. Ljunggren (1952).

A remark of Mordell alluding to a local/global principle for cubic Diophantine equations
For the sake of the history, as told to me by Cassels: Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer initially were looking at the "rate of divergence" of the infinite products that are formally what contribute to L(1). …

What is the geometry of an undecidable diophantine equation?
You have a typical recursively enumerable set S of integers, and a set X of lattice points cut out by a multivariate polynomial. We are talking about S being the projection (onto one axis) of X. Given …

Why certain diophantine equations are interesting (and others are not) ?
Picking up on the theme of the Hilbert problem on diophantine sets: we do know that they comprise all recursively enumerable sets. A diophantine set being only slightly more sophisticated than a given …

Advances and difficulties in effective version of Thue-Roth-Siegel Theorem
One way of looking at the issue is this: it is quite easy to transform the question of good rational approximations to algebraic numbers into a question about integral points on certain affine curves …
