Andrej Dujella: Diophantine m-tuples and Elliptic Curves - Errata et addenda

List of corrections and additional comments to the book Diophantine m-tuples and Elliptic Curves, Springer, 2024


Preface

Page v, line 20: The current number of references on the web page [121] https://web.math.pmf.unizg.hr/~duje/dtuples.html is 564.

1.5 Generalizations of Diophantine m-Tuples

Page 15, line 20: Instead of 8539880 it should be 9539880. (Thanks to Lawrence Somer.)

2.5 Rank of Elliptic Curves

Page 55: The current recond for the rank of elliptic curves over Q is the curve with rank ≥ 29 found by N. Elkies and Z. Klagsbrun in August 2024:

y2 + xy = x3 - 27006183241630922218434652145297453784768054621836357954737385x  
              + 55258058551342376475736699591118191821521067032535079608372404779149413277716173425636721497.
Table 2.1 on p.56 and Table 2.2 on p.71 should be updated accordingly.

Page 73: In Table 2.4, in rows corresponding to Z/7Z and Z/9Z, it should be added "Youmbai (2024)".

3.6.3 Torsion Group Z/2Z × Z/4Z

Page 128, line -6: (157, 127, 43, 12) should be omitted since it produces the same curve as (55, 31, 142, 15). (Thanks to Maksym Voznyy.)

3.9 Elliptic Curves Induced by Diophantine Triples over Quadratic Fields

Page 155, line 5: Instead of 64t8 it should be 64w8. (Thanks to Maksym Voznyy.)

3.11 Exercises

Concering Exercise 12 on page 166, let us mention that in the recent paper:
A. Dujella, M. Kazalicki, V. Petričević, Rational Diophantine sextuples with strong pair, Rev. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fis. Nat. Ser. A Math. RACSAM 119, Article 36 (2025),
it is shown that there exist infinitely many rational Diophantine sextuples {a,b,c,d,e,f} with the property that a2+1 and b2+1 are perfect squares.

5.1 Existence of D(n)-quadruples

Page 282, line 2: } is missing after 20. (Thanks to Mihai Cipu.)

5.2 Bounds for the Size of D(n)-tuples

Page 294, Remark 5.2.13: In the recent paper
C. H. Yip, Improved upper bounds on Diophantine tuples with the property D(n), Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 111, 428-432 (2025),
it is shown that Bn = O(log log |n|) and Mn ≤ (2+o(1)) log |n|.
