A note on Diophantine systems involving three symmetric polynomials

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let Xˉn=(x1,…,xn)\bar{X}_{n}=(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}) and σi(Xˉn)=∑xk1…xkiσ_{i}(\bar{X}_{n})=\sum x_{k_{1}}\ldots x_{k_{i}} be ii-th elementary symmetric polynomial. In this note we prove that there are infinitely many triples of integers a,b,ca, b, c such that for each 1≤i≤n1\leq i\leq n the system of Diophantine equations \begin{equation*} σ_{i}(\bar{X}_{2n})=a, \quad σ_{2n-i}(\bar{X}_{2n})=b, \quad σ_{2n}(\bar{X}_{2n})=c \end{equation*} has infinitely many rational solutions. This result extend the recent results of Zhang and Cai, and the author. Moreover, we also consider some Diophantine systems involving sums of powers. In particular, we prove that for each kk there are at least kk nn-tuples of integers with the same sum of ii-th powers for i=1,2,3i=1,2,3. Similar result is proved for i=1,2,4i=1,2,4 and i=−1,1,2i=-1,1,2.
