Lang's Observation in Diophantine Problems
[ Abstract ]
In 1964, Serge Lang suggested the following problem, which reads now as follows:
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field K, and varphi be a rational function on E. Then, for every point PinE(K) where varphi does not vanish at P, the logarithms of a norm of varphi(P) is at worst linear in the logarithms of the Neron-Tate height of the point P.
We give a simultaneous Diophantine approximation for linear forms in elliptic logarithms which actually implies this conjecture. We also present Lang's observations in Diophantine problems.
