Diophantine Geometry II Semester SoSe 2025
Lecturer Walter Gubler
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung
German title Diophantische Geometrie II
Contents Diophantine Geometry is a very old and fascinating field. It deals with entire or
rational solutions of polynomial equations. A famous example is Fermat's conjecture which was open
for many years until Wiles solved it. In Diophantine Geometry II, we will study local heights and then prove the Mordell-conjecture. We will follow Vojta's proof with simplification of Bombieri. This
proof is more elementary than the original proof of Faltings for which Faltings received the Fields
medal in 1986.
Literature Bombieri, Gubler: Heights in Diophantine Geometry; Hindry, Silverman: Diphantine Geometry;
Lang: Fundamentals of Diophantine Geometry; Serre: Lectures on the Mordell--Weil theorem.
Recommended previous knowledge Algebraic Geometry I and Diophantine Geometry I are helpful, but not absolutely necessary as
we recall the needed results.
