Abstract
In the recent paper arXiv:1807.02721, B. Lawrence and A. Venkatesh develop a method of proving finiteness theorems in arithmetic geometry by studying the geometry of families over a base variety. Their results include a new proof of both the -unit theorem and Faltings' theorem, obtained by constructing and studying suitable abelian-by-finite families over and over an arbitrary curve of genus respectively. In this paper, we apply this strategy to reprove Siegel's theorem: we construct an abelian-by-finite family on a punctured elliptic curve to prove finiteness of -integral points on elliptic curves.
