Integrality properties in the Moduli Space of Elliptic Curves: CM Case (1906.10580v1)
Published 25 Jun 2019 in math.NT
Abstract: A result of Habegger shows that there are only finitely many singular moduli such that $j$ or $j-\alpha$ is an algebraic unit. The result uses Duke's Equidistribution Theorem and is thus not effective. For a fixed $j$-invariant $\alpha \in \bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ of an elliptic curve without complex multiplication, we prove that there are only finitely many singular moduli $j$ such that $j-\alpha$ is an algebraic unit. The difference to the work of Habegger is that we give explicit bounds.
