Faltings’s Proof of the Mordell Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
Our plan is to try to understand Faltings’s proof of the Mordell conjecture. The focus will be on his first proof, which is more algebraic in nature, proves the Shafarevich and Tate conjectures, and also gives us a chance to learn about some nearby topics, such as the moduli space of abelian varieties or p-adic Hodge theory. The seminar will meet 4:10–5:30 every Thursday in 1360. Some relevant references are [CS86; Fal86; Tat66; Tat67], as well as notes from a seminar on this topic at Stanford recently: http://math.stanford.edu/~akshay/ntslearn.html

An afterthought on the generalized Mordell-Lang conjecture
The generalized Mordell-Lang conjecture (GML) is the statement that the irreducible components of the Zariski closure of a subset of a group of finite rank inside a semi-abelian variety are translates of closed algebraic subgroups. In [6], M. McQuillan gave a proof of this statement. We revisit his proof, indicating some simplifications. This text contains a complete elementary proof of the fac...
متن کاملComplete characterization of the Mordell-Weil group of some families of elliptic curves
The Mordell-Weil theorem states that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over the rational numbers is a finitely generated abelian group. In our previous paper, H. Daghigh, and S. Didari, On the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px$, Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 40 (2014), no. 5, 1119--1133., using Selmer groups, we have shown that for a prime $p...
متن کاملOn the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px $
By the Mordell-Weil theorem, the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group. There is no known algorithm for finding the rank of this group. This paper computes the rank of the family $ E_p:y^2=x^3-3px $ of elliptic curves, where p is a prime.
متن کاملA short proof of the maximum conjecture in CR dimension one
In this paper and by means of the extant results in the Tanaka theory, we present a very short proof in the specific case of CR dimension one for Beloshapka's maximum conjecture. Accordingly, we prove that each totally nondegenerate model of CR dimension one and length >= 3 has rigidity. As a result, we observe that the group of CR automorphisms associated with each of such models contains onl...
