The perfect power problem for elliptic curves over function fields
  We generalise the Siegel-Voloch theorem about S-integral points on elliptic curves as follows: let K/F denote a global function field over a finite field F of characteristic p>3, let S denote a finite set of places of K and let E/K denote a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over K with j-invariant a p^s power but not p^(s+1) power in K. Fix a non-constant function f in K(E) with a pole of order N>0 at the zero element of E. We prove that there are only finitely many rational points P in E(K) such that for any valuation outside S for which f(P) is negative, that valuation of f(P) is divisible by some integer not dividing p^sN. We also present some effective bounds for certain elliptic curves over rational function fields, and indicate how a similar result can be proven over number fields, assuming the number field abc-hypothesis.
