Unboundedness of the number of rational points on curves over function fields

Number Theory 2016-08-14 v1

Abstract

We give examples of sequences of smooth non-isotrivial curves for every genus at least two, defined over a rational function field of positive characteristic, such that the (finite) number of rational points of the curves in the sequence cannot be uniformly bounded.
