Abstract

It is proved that if 1, β are numbers, linearly independent over the rationals, in a real cubic number field, then given any real number d > 2, for any integers x0, x1, x2 such that norm(x0 + αX1 + βX2)l < d, there exist effectively computable numbers c > 0 and k > 0 depending only on α and β such that X1+X2(logx1x2)k log dx0+αx1=βx2>holds whenever x1x2 ≠ 0. It would be of much interest to remove the dependence on d in the exponent of log x1x2 for then, among other things, one could deduce, for cubic irrationals, a stronger and effective form of Roth’s Theorem.
