Rational points and derived equivalence

Rational Points, R-equivalence and Étale Homotopy of Algebraic Varieties

We study a generalisation of the anabelian section conjecture of Grothendieck by substituting the arithmetic fundamental group with a relative version of the étale homotopy type. We show that the map associating homotopy fixed points to rational points factors though R-equivalence for projective varieties defied over fields of characteristic zero. We show that over p-adic fields rational points...

Distribution of Rational Points: A Survey

Rational Points

is known to have only finitely many triples of positive integer solutions x, y, z for a given n > 2 (Faltings, 1983). In Chapter 11, special situations are described in which more precise information is accessible. For example, if x is in S, then n is bounded by a computable number C5 = Cb(pv ..., p8). From these examples, it should be clear that the book is a mine of information for workers in...

K3 Surfaces, Rational Curves, and Rational Points

We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces X defined over a number field k, if there is an algebraic point on X that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on X that lies on no rational curves. In particular, our theorem applies to a large class of elliptic K3 surfaces, which relates to a question posed by Bogomolov in 1981. Mathematics Subj...
