Abstract
Let C[z] be the ring of polynomials in z with complex coefficients; we consider the equation Y² — X³ = A, with A[is an element of]C[z] given, and seek solutions of this with X, Y[is an element of]C[z] i.e. we treat the equation as a "polynomial diophantine" problem. We show that when A is of degree 5 or 6 and has no multiple roots, then there are exactly 240 solutions (X, Y) to the problem with deg X ≤ 2 and deg Y ≤ 3.
