  1. Five squares in arithmetic progression over quadratic fields.

    Abstract

    We give several criteria to show over which quadratic number fields
    $\bQ(\sqrt{D})$ there should exists a non-constant arithmetic progressions of
    five squares. This is done by translating the problem to determining when some
    genus five curves C_D defined over Q have rational points, and then using a
    Mordell-Weil sieve argument among others.

  2. Squares in arithmetic progression over number fields.

    Abstract

    We show that there exists an upper bound for the number of squares in
    arithmetic progression over a number field that depends only on the degree of
    the field. We show that this bound is 5 for quadratic fields, and also that the
    result generalizes to $k$-powers for $k>1$.
