Abstract

We state a conjectural criterion for identifying global integral points on a hyperbolic curve over Z\mathbb{Z} in terms of Selmer schemes inside non-abelian cohomology functors with coefficients in Qp\mathbb{Q}_p-unipotent fundamental groups. For P1{0,1,}\mathbb{P}^1\setminus \{0,1,\infty\} and the complement of the origin in semi-stable elliptic curves of rank 0, we compute the local image of global Selmer schemes, which then allows us to numerically confirm our conjecture in a wide range of cases.
