Abstract：

The main goal of this course will be to analyze the structure of orbits of polynomial transformations of the affine space of dimension m, with a focus on invertible maps. A large array of techniques is now available, coming from basic Diophantine geometry, p-adic analysis, dynamical or arithmetic equidistribution theorem. I will focus on a small number of precise results that illustrate well these techniques (including theorems of Dimitrov, of Bell, and of Bilu). Complete proofs will be given. The course will not require any advanced knowledge in algebraic geometry, dynamical systems, or p-adic analysis: the necessary notions will be introduced during the course.

On arithmetic properties of algebraic curves
课程介绍 / DescriptionIn his memoir of 1900, Henri Poincaré proposed a program to study the arithmetic properties of algebraic curves based on their geometric structures. This led to tremendous achievements in the 20th century, including the proof of the Mordell—Weil theorem (Mordell 1922, Weil 1928), the Mordell conjecture (Faltings 1983), and Fermat's last theorem (Wiles 1994).In this series...
