Research Activities

Problem 1. It is well known that every rational number is a sum of three rational cubes. Thus it is an interesting question to determine the rational numbers which are sums of two rational cubes, or if we prefer, the integers A for which the equation
?

 x3+y3=Az3
(1)

is solvable in integers.

This equation has attracted the attention of many mathematicians over a period of years. Euler was first who proved that the equation (1) is impossible if a=1 and a=4, and that x=?y if a=2. Fundamental contribution to the investigation of such kind equations was made by Sylvester, van der Corput, Delone and Faddeev. Author proved that the equation
?

 x3+y3=pqz3

has no solutions in nonzero integers x, y, z if ?p, q are primes of special kind.

Note that a very interesting question for this problem is a search of other values of a for which the equation (1) has no solutions in nonzero integers x, y, z.

Problem 2. To investigate Diophantine equation
?

 xp-yq=k,

where the unknowns x,?y,?p and q are integers all ? 2, in some particular cases. In general case conjecture Pillai says that this equation has only finitely many solutions (x, y, p, q). This means that in the increasing sequence of perfect powers xp, with x ? 2 and p ? 2 the difference between two consecutive terms tends to infinity. It is not even known that for, say, k=2, Pillai''s equation has only finitely many solutions. A related open question is whether the number 6 occurs as a difference between two perfect powers: Is there a solution to the Diophantine equation xp-yq=6?
