The
equation
y
3
=
x
2
+
22
has no
integer
solutions. Factoring it in
Z
[
−
22
]
, the two conjugate factors are
coprime
.
Unique factorization of ideals in a number field
and the absence of three-torsion in the class
group
force
x
+
−
22
to be
a
cube
up to
a
unit.
Writing
it
as
(
a
+
b
−
22
)
3
makes its
−
22
coefficient
b
(
3
a
2
−
22
b
2
)
=
1
,
(1)
which has no
integer
solution.
