Counting rational points on transcendental curves in valued fields

Number Theory 2025-07-08 v2 Logic

Abstract

We prove upper bounds on the number of rational points on transcendental curves in arbitrary 11-h-minimal fields, similar to the Pila--Wilkie counting theorem in the o-minimal setting. These results extend results due to Cluckers--Comte--Loeser from pp-adic fields to arbitrary valued fields of mixed characteristic. Our methods rely on parametrizations, where we avoid the usage of rr-th power maps, combined with the determinant method.
