This is an informal paper presenting historical results around the recent paper of the author about Lang's Conjecture and torsion of elliptic curves. This paper also discusses a few aspects of the proof.

We investigate the validity of the Liouville property for a class of elliptic equations with a potential, posed on infinite graphs. Under suitable assumptions on the graph and on the potential, we prove that the unique bounded solution is…

We discuss sufficient conditions for a given curve to be covered by a maximal curve with the covering being unramified; it turns out that the given curve itself will be also maximal. We relate our main result to the question of whether or…

We consider Newton's problem of minimal resistance, in particular we address the problem arising in the limit if the height goes to infinity. We establish existence of solutions and lack radial symmetry of solutions. Moreover, we show that…

Given a family of products of elliptic curves over a rational curve defined over a number field $K$, and assuming that there exists no isogeny between the pair of elliptic curves in the generic fiber, we establish an upper bound for the…

We observe that there are elliptic curves over number fields all of whose quadratic twists must have positive rank, assuming the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. We give a classification of such curves in terms of their local behaviour,…

Graphs with bounded treewidth and bounded maximum degree are known to have tree-partitions of bounded width. What can be said if the bounded treewidth assumption is strengthened to bounded pathwidth? We prove that every graph with bounded…

Schauder estimates hold in nonuniformly elliptic problems under optimal assumptions on the growth of the ellipticity ratio.

We show that, assuming Vojta's height conjecture, the height of a rational point on an algebraically hyperbolic variety can be bounded "uniformly" in families. This generalizes a result of Su-Ion Ih for curves of genus at least two to…

We prove two theorems concerning isogenies of elliptic curves over function fields. The first one describes the variation of the height of the $j$-invariant in an isogeny class. The second one is an "isogeny estimate", providing an explicit…

We derive finite difference equations of infinite order for theta hypergeometric series and investigate the space of their solutions. In general, such infinite series diverge, we describe some constraints on the parameters when they do…

There are no known failures of Bounded Negativity in characteristic 0. In the light of recent work showing the Bounded Negativity Conjecture fails in positive characteristics for rational surfaces, we propose new characteristic free…

Extending the methods developed in the author's previous paper and using adapted coordinate systems in two variables, an L^p boundedness theorem is proven for maximal operators over hypersurfaces in R^3 when p > 2. When the best possible p…

We obtain a lower bound for the normalised height of a non-torsion hypersurface $V$ of a C.M. abelian variety $A$ which is a refinement of a precedent result. This lower bound is optimal in terms of the geometric degree of $V$, up to an…

Let V be an algebraic variety embedded in a power of an elliptic curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. We show that the set of algebraic points of V which are of bounded height and which satisfy certain algebraic conditions are a…

Given a minimal surface equipped with a generically finite map to an Abelian variety, we give an optimal bound on the canonical degree of a rational or an elliptic curve. As a corollary, we obtain the finiteness of rational and elliptic…

We describe a method for bounding the rank of an elliptic curve under the assumptions of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As an example, we compute, under these conjectures, exact upper bounds…

We give an overview of some landmark theorems and recent conjectures in Diophantine Geometry. In the elliptic case, we prove some new bounds for torsion anomalous points and we clarify the implications of several height bounds on the…

We give an asymptotic formula for the number of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with bounded Faltings height. Silverman has shown that the Faltings height for elliptic curves over number fields can be expressed in terms of modular…

We investigate the validity of the Phragm\`en-Lindel\"of principle for a class of elliptic equations with a potential, posed on infinite graphs. Consequently, we get uniqueness, in the class of solutions satisfying a suitable growth…
