Cube Sum Problem and an Explicit Gross-Zagier Formula

Abstract

A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in {\mathbb{Q}}^{\times }$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\ge 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$ distinct prime factors such that $2n$ is a cube sum (resp. not a cube sum). We give also a general construction of Heegner point and obtain an explicit Gross-Zagier formula which is used to prove the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for certain elliptic curve related to the cube sum problem.
