An effective lower bound for the integer cube sum

For an integer m, let N(m) denotes the number of integer solutions to the equation x^3 + y^3 =m. The sum of cubes problem concerns with the question of how large N(m) can be. Analogously, for any cubic form f(x,y), let N_f(m) denote the number of integer solutions for f(x,y)=m. In 1983, Silverman obtained large values for N_f(m) by connecting this to construction of higher rank elliptic curves. In this talk, we will discuss an explicit lower bound attained by N(m) for infinitely many m.
