系列报告标题:
Rational Points on Curves
系列报告摘要:The structure of rational solutions to a polynomial equation depends on the structure of corresponding algebraic variety. In case of a curve of genus zero, the problem of find all solutions can be completely solved using Hasse-Minkowski principle is conjectured to be finite; and the set of rational points is a finitely generated group by the Mordell-Weil theorem if it not empty. In case of genus two or bigger, the set of solutions is finite by Faltings theorem.
A major unsolved problem today is the effectivity of solutions for curves of genus one or bigger。 For elliptic curves, one has the Birch and Swinner-Dyer(BSD) conjecture which related the
Mordell-Weil group and the central values of L-Series arsing from counting rational points over finite fields. For curves of genus two of bigger, one has the ABC conjecture and its refinements providing some effective bounds for curves. In function field case, these conjectures are consequences of Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau.
