Assuming Lang's conjectured lower bound on the heights of non-torsion points on an elliptic curve, we show that there exists an absolute constant $C$ such that for any elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ and non-torsion point $P\,\in \,E\left( \mathbb{Q} \right)$ , there is at most one integral multiple $\left[ n \right]P$ such that $n\,>\,C$ . The proof is a modification of a proof of Ingram giving an unconditional, but not uniform, bound. The new ingredient is a collection of explicit formulæ for the sequence $v\left( {{\Psi }_{n}} \right)$ of valuations of the division polynomials. For $P$ of non-singular reduction, such sequences are already well described in most cases, but for $P$ of singular reduction, we are led to define a new class of sequences called elliptic troublemaker sequences, which measure the failure of the Néron local height to be quadratic. As a corollary in the spirit of a conjecture of Lang and Hall, we obtain a uniform upper bound on $\widehat{h}\left( P \right)/h\left( E \right)$ for integer points having two large integral multiples.

We search for theorems that, given a ${{C}_{i}}$ -field $K$ and a subfield $k$ of $K$ , allow us to conclude that $k$ is a ${{C}_{j}}$ -field for some $j$ . We give appropriate theorems in the case $\text{case }K=k\left( t \right)$ and $K=k\left( \left( t \right) \right)$ . We then consider the more difficult case where $K/k$ is an algebraic extension. Here we are able to prove some results, and make conjectures. We also point out the connection between these questions and Lang's conjecture on nonreal function fields over a real closed field.
