Positive Characteristic Manin-mumford Theorem

چکیده
We present the details of a model theoretic proof of an analogue of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for semiabelian varieties in positive characteristic. As a by-product of the proof we reduce the general positive characteristic Mordell-Lang problem to a question about purely inseparable points on subvarieties of semiabelian varieties.

متن کاملThe Dynamical Manin-mumford Conjecture and the Dynamical Bogomolov Conjecture for Split Rational Maps
We prove the Dynamical Bogomolov Conjecture for endomorphisms of Φ : P × P −→ P × P, where Φ(x, y) := (f(x), g(y)) for any rational functions f and g defined over Q̄. We use the equidistribution theorem for points of small height with respect to an algebraic dynamical system, combined with a theorem of Levin regarding symmetries of the Julia set. Using a specialization theorem of Yuan and Zhang,...

The general theme will be the use of model-theoretic methods in proofs of the Manin-Mumford conjecture and variants. If K is an algebraically closed field, G a commutative algebraic group over K and Γ an abstract subgroup of G(K), we will say that Γ is of Lang type, if for any n and subvariety X of G, X(K) ∩ Γ is a finite union of cosets of subgroups of Γ. The Manin-Mumford conjecture says that...

These notes are for the first two lectures of the lecture series ”Model Theory and Diophantine Geometry” by Thomas Scanlon and myself. The full series of lectures will be on the Manin-Mumford conjecture and variants. As is well-known, model-theoretic ideas, specifically definability theory in difference fields of characteristic zero, were used by Hrushovski [2] to give another proof of the Mani...
متن کاملTHE DYNAMICAL MANIN-MUMFORD CONJECTURE AND THE DYNAMICAL BOGOMOLOV CONJECTURE FOR ENDOMORPHISMS OF (P1)n
We prove Zhang’s Dynamical Manin-Mumford Conjecture and Dynamical Bogomolov Conjecture for dominant endomorphisms Φ of (P). We use the equidistribution theorem for points of small height with respect to an algebraic dynamical system, combined with an analysis of the symmetries of the Julia set for a rational function.
