Abstract

Let F(x,y)F(x,y) be a cubic binary form with integer coefficients that is irreducible over the field of rational numbers, and let k0k\neq 0 be an integer. Further, let A(k)A(k) be the number of pairs of integers (x,y)(x,y) satisfying F(x,y)=kF(x,y)=k. Here, Mahler proves that A(k)A(k) is unbounded, and that there are infinitely many integers kk such that A(k)logk4.A(k)\geqslant \sqrt[4]{\log k}.
