Reprint: On the rational points on curves of genus one (1934) (Q1996497)

Summary: Let \(f(x,y)\) be an irreducible polynomial with rational coefficients and suppose that \(f(x,y)=0\) defines a curve of genus one with infinitely many rational points \((x,y)\) lying on it. In this paper, Mahler shows that given a finite set \(S\) of prime numbers, there are only finitely many rational points \((x, y)\) on the curve such that \(x\) or \(y\) has all its prime factors in \(S\).
