Integer points on elliptic curves

Wen-Chen Chi, King Fai Lai and Ki-Seng Tan

Vol. 222 (2005), No. 2, 237–252
Abstract

We study Lang’s conjecture on the number of S-integer points on an elliptic curve over a number field. We improve the exponent of the bound of Gross and Silverman from quadratic to linear by using the S-unit equation method of Evertse and a formula on 2-division points.

Keywords
elliptic curves, S-integers, integer points, S-unit equations, 2-division points, Lang’s conjecture
