Tubular approaches to Baker's method for curves and varieties
Baker's method, relying on estimates on linear forms in logarithms of
algebraic numbers, allows one to prove in several situations the effective
finiteness of integral points on varieties. In this article, we give a
generalisation of results of Levin regarding Baker's method for varieties, and
explain how, quite surprisingly, it mixes (under additional hypotheses) with
Runge's method to improve some known estimates in the case of curves by
bypassing (or more generally reducing) the need for linear forms in -adic
logarithms
Upper bounds for the number of solutions to quartic Thue equations
We will give upper bounds for the number of integral solutions
to quartic Thue equations. Our main tool here is a logarithmic curve (x,y) that allows us to use the theory of linear forms in logarithms. This manuscript improves the results of author's earlier work with Okazaki [2] by giving special
treatments to forms with respect to their signature
Extremal families of cubic Thue equations
We exactly determine the integral solutions to a previously untreated
infinite family of cubic Thue equations of the form with at least
such solutions. Our approach combines elementary arguments, with lower
bounds for linear forms in logarithms and lattice-basis reduction
