Abstract

In this paper, we give a parametrization of the set of algebraic points of degree at most l over Q on the hyperelliptic curve
y2 = x(x2 + x - 4)(x2 - x + 45)
This curve was studied by Bruin and Flynn in [4] where the heights explicitly described the set of rational points, i.e. C(1)(Q). Drawing on the work of Arnth-Jensen and Flynn based on [2] and one of Abel-Jacobi's fundamental theorems in [1, 8], we extend the results of [4] to algebraic points of any degree which we denote C(l)(Q).
