On function field Mordell-Lang: the semiabelian case and the socle theorem

Algebraic Geometry 2017-10-25 v2 Logic Number Theory

Abstract

We here aim to complete our model-theoretic account of the function field Mordell-Lang conjecture, avoiding appeal to dichotomy theorems for Zariski geometries, where we now consider the general case of semiabelian varieties. The main result is a reduction, using model-theoretic tools, of the semiabelian case to the abelian case.
