We explore a number of problems related to the quadratic Chabauty method
for determining integral points on hyperbolic curves. We remove the
assumption of semistability in the description of the quadratic Chabauty sets
containing the integral
points
of an elliptic
curve of rank at most
.
Motivated by a conjecture of Kim, we then investigate
theoretically and computationally the set-theoretic difference
. We
also consider some algorithmic questions arising from Balakrishnan and Dogra’s
explicit quadratic Chabauty for the rational points of a genus-two bielliptic curve. As
an example, we provide a new solution to a problem of Diophantus which was first
solved by Wetherell.
Computationally, the main difference from the previous approach to quadratic Chabauty is the
use of the
-adic
sigma function in place of a double Coleman integral.
