Arithmetic of elliptic curves and diophantine equations
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 11 (1999) no. 1, pp. 173-200.

Nous décrivons un panorama des méthodes reliant l'étude des équations diophantiennes ternaires aux techniques modernes issues de la théorie des formes modulaires.

We give a survey of methods used to connect the study of ternary diophantine equations to modern techniques coming from the theory of modular forms.
