Integral points on curves via Baker's method and finite étale covers

Time:2024-3-1, FRIDAY 10:00-11:00 am

Venue:Zoom Meeting ID: 262 865 5007 Passcode: YMSC

Organizer:Caucher Birkar,曲三太, 陈炳仪

Speaker:Bjorn Poonen (MIT)

Abstract:

We prove that for each g at least 2, there is no universal construction combining Baker's method with finite étale covers to determine the integral points on all affine curves of genus g. This is joint work with Aaron Landesman.

      Mahler measure, integral $K_2$ and Beilinson's conjecture of curves over number fields

      AbstractWe will talk about several Mahler measure identities involving families of two-variable polynomials defining curves of arbitrary genus, by means of their integral $K_2$. As an application, we can obtain some relations between the Mahler measure of non-tempered polynomials defining elliptic curves of conductor 14, 15, 24, 48, 54 and corresponding L-values. We construct $g$ independent (i...

      Milnor-Witt Bockstein spectral sequence of moduli of stable curves with marked points

      AbstractWe show that the MW - Bockstein spectral sequence degenerates for genus 0 case over $\mathbb{R}$ or algebraically closed fields and for genus 1 with few marked points over any field. This recovers a result of Etingof, saying that the singular cohomology of real points of genus 0 case has only 2-torsions
