On Bounds and Diophantine Properties of Elliptic Curves (2407.09558v1)

Abstract: Mordell equations are celebrated equations within number theory and are named after Louis Mordell, an American-born British mathematician, known for his pioneering research in number theory. In this paper, we discover all Mordell equations of the form $y^2 = x^3 + k$, where $k \in \mathbb Z$, with exactly $|k|$ integral solutions. We also discover explicit bounds for Mordell equations, parameterized families of elliptic curves and twists on elliptic curves. Using the connection between Mordell curves and binary cubic forms, we improve the lower bound for the number of integral solutions of a Mordell curve by looking at a pair of curves with unusually high rank.
