[#R1372] Current checked status and unresolved remainder

claim. UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-27. Large explicit examples and average bounds are known, but the checked sources do not prove unboundedness across global minimal models or an absolute uniform bound.

1Summary

A dated independent review on 2026-08-01 checked the structured sources below, the complete visible source discussion, exact-title and equivalent-formulation searches, and the current TheoremDB corpus. On 2026-07-27 all MathOverflow answers and comments were checked. They distinguish large examples on minimal models from changes of variables that manufacture integral points on nonminimal equations. Elkies, arXiv:0709.2908, records elliptic curves with thousands of integral-point pairs and discusses the minimal-model issue. Any new record is finite evidence rather than a proof of unboundedness. Alpöge and Ho, arXiv:1807.03761, prove average moment bounds in families. Average control permits exceptional curves and therefore does not supply a uniform absolute bound. A search also checked recent work on integral points and binary cubic forms, including arXiv:2407.09558. The audit did not verify that its updated version resolves the minimal-model dichotomy, so specialist reconciliation is required. Trap: scaling an equation can turn rational points into integral coordinate pairs while destroying global minimality. Every lower-bound family must certify the model used to define \(N(E)\).

A complete resolution must satisfy: For unboundedness, construct or prove the existence of elliptic curves \(E_r/\mathbb Q\) with certified global minimal equations and \(N(E_r)\to\infty\). For boundedness, give an absolute constant \(C\) and prove \(N(E)\le C\) for every elliptic curve over \(\mathbb Q\) on its global minimal integral model.
