Prove that there exist infinitely many integers $x$ such that integer $P(x)=x^3-2$ is a sum of two squares of integers.
Ideally, I am looking for a proof method that also applies for other $P(x)$, such as, for example, $P(x)=x^3+x+1$.
For $x=4t+3$, $P=(4t+3)^3-2$ is $1$ modulo $4$. By a well-beli...
