Abstract (Original language)
Résumé

In this paper, we use Baker’s method, based on linear forms of logarithms, to solve a family of Thue equations associated with a family of number fields of degree 3. We obtain all solutions to the Thue equation

\begin{matrix} Φ_{n} (x, y) & = x^{3} + (n^{8} + 2 n^{6} - 3 n^{5} + 3 n^{4} - 4 n^{3} + 5 n^{2} - 3 n + 3) x^{2} y \\ - (n^{3} - 2) n^{2} x y^{2} - y^{3} = \pm 1, \end{matrix}

for $n \geq 0$ .

Dans cet article, nous utilisons la méthode de Baker, basée sur les formes linéaires en logarithmes, pour résoudre une famille d’équations de Thue liée à une famille de corps de nombres de degré 3. Nous obtenons toutes les solutions de l’équation de Thue

\begin{matrix} Φ_{n} (x, y) & = x^{3} + (n^{8} + 2 n^{6} - 3 n^{5} + 3 n^{4} - 4 n^{3} + 5 n^{2} - 3 n + 3) x^{2} y \\ - (n^{3} - 2) n^{2} x y^{2} - y^{3} = \pm 1, \end{matrix}

pour $n \geq 0$ .
