Infinite families of Diophantine quadruples in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-2}]$ in the remaining exceptional congruence classes

We continue the study of $D(z)$-quadruples in the ring $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-2}]$. Motivated by the earlier classification due to the authors and by the subsequent partial results for the remaining families, we consider the exceptional congruence classes arising in the forms $24a+5+(12b+6)\sqrt{-2}$, $24a+2+(12b+6)\sqrt{-2}$, and $48a+44+(24b+12)\sqrt{-2}$. By combining the regular extension method with new families obtained by fixing a divisor $e\mid 3z$ and a small element $v\in \mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-2}]$, we construct explicit $D(z)$-quadruples in each of the previously unsolved congruence classes. More precisely, we show that every exceptional class contains infinitely many values of $z$ admitting a twice semi-regular $D(z)$-quadruple, i.e., a quadruple containing two regular $D(z)$-triples. We also include remarks on the exceptional values $z\in\{-1,1\pm 2\sqrt{-2}\}$ and on a computational search in the exceptional congruence classes.

A Pellian equation with primes and applications to D(-1)-quadruples

In this paper, we prove that the equation $x^2-(p^{2k+2}+1)y^2=-p^{2l+1}$, $l \in \{0,1,\dots,k\}, k \geq 0$, where $p$ is an odd prime number, is not solvable in positive integers $x$ and $y$. By combining that result with other known results on the existence of Diophantine quadruples, we are able to prove results on the extensibility of some $D(-1)$-pairs to quadruples in the ring $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-t}], t>0$.

On the torsion group of elliptic curves induced by Diophantine triples over quadratic fields

The possible torsion groups of elliptic curves induced by Diophantine triples over quadratic fields, which do not appear over Q, are Z/2Z x Z/10Z, Z/2Z x Z/12Z and Z/4Z x Z/4Z. In this paper, we show that all these torsion groups indeed appear over some quadratic field. Moreover, we prove that there are infinitely many Diophantine triples over quadratic fields which induce elliptic curves with these torsion groups.
