Elisa Lorenzo García: Diophantine Geometry

Collection Elisa Lorenzo García: Diophantine Geometry

In this course we present a short introduction to Diophantine Geometry. The main object of study are heights: we study their properties, their constructions and their applications. We start by introducing absolute values and valuations to define heights on projective spaces and later on on varieties, more precisely on abelian varieties via the Weil heights machinery. We revisite Mordell-Weil theorem on the group of rational points on abelian varieties and Falting's theorem on the finitness of rational points on curves of genus greater or equal than 2. We finish the course by discussing some open problems on Diophantine Geometry, as the abc conjecture.
