Totally real Thue inequalities over imaginary quadratic fields

Abstract

Let $F(x,y)$ be an irreducible binary form of degree $\ge 3$ with integer coefficients and with real roots. Let $M$ be an imaginary quadratic field, with ring of integers $Z_M$. Let $K>0$. We describe an efficient method how to reduce the resolution of the relative Thue inequalities \[ |F(x,y)|\leq K \;\; (x,y\in Z_M) \] to the resolution of absolute Thue inequalities of type \[ |F(x,y)|\leq k \;\; (x,y\in Z). \] We illustrate our method with an explicit example.
