The Bielefeld Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry Oberseminar, Summer Semester 2021

This semester, our Oberseminar will be about the new proof of Mordell's conjecture (Faltings' theorem) due to Lawrence and Venkatesh. Our main reference will be
[LV] Brian Lawrence and Akshay Venkatesh, Diophantine problems and p-adic period mappings, Inventiones 2020
and the references therein. We will follow the program of U. Goertz available here. For more information, please contact Eike Lau.
