We extend the refined version of the Chabauty-Coleman bound on the number of rational points on a curve of genus g>1 to the case of bad reduction.

We give new instances where Chabauty--Kim sets can be proved to be finite, by developing a notion of "generalised height functions" on Selmer varieties. We also explain how to compute these generalised heights in terms of iterated integrals…

Consider a smooth, geometrically irreducible, projective curve of genus $g \ge 2$ defined over a number field of degree $d \ge 1$. It has at most finitely many rational points by the Mordell Conjecture, a theorem of Faltings. We show that…

We give a new construction of $p$-adic heights on varieties over number fields using $p$-adic Arakelov theory. In analogy with Zhang's construction of real-valued heights in terms of adelic metrics, these heights are given in terms of…

In this article we prove the explicit Mordell Conjecture for large families of curves. In addition, we introduce a method, of easy application, to compute all rational points on curves of quite general shape and increasing genus. The method…

We generalize the explicit quadratic Chabauty techniques for integral points on odd degree hyperelliptic curves and for rational points on genus 2 bielliptic curves to arbitrary number fields using restriction of scalars. This is achieved…

This paper introduces explicit Galois cohomological methods for determining the ranks of Bloch--Kato Selmer groups associated to the Tate twists of the 2-adic second \'etale cohomology of the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve with a…

Given a smooth, proper, geometrically integral curve $X$ of genus $g$ with Jacobian $J$ over a number field $K$, Chabauty's method is a $p$-adic technique to bound $\# X(K)$ when $\mathrm{rank}\ J(K) < g$. We study limitations of a variant…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

The Chabauty--Kim method was developed with the aim of approaching effective Faltings', the problem of explicitly determining the finite set of rational points on a hyperbolic curve. This method has seen success with the more particular…

We prove that when all hyperelliptic curves of genus $n\geq 1$ having a rational Weierstrass point are ordered by height, the average size of the 2-Selmer group of their Jacobians is equal to 3. It follows that (the limsup of) the average…

We use the method of quadratic Chabauty on the quotients $X_0^+(N)$ of modular curves $X_0(N)$ by their Fricke involutions to provably compute all the rational points of these curves for prime levels $N$ of genus four, five, and six. We…

Quadratic Chabauty is a $p$-adic method for determining rational points on curves. Local heights are arithmetic invariants used in the quadratic Chabauty method. We present an algorithm to compute these local heights for hyperelliptic…

Kantor's Thesis was the first step in unifying the Chabauty-Kim and Lawrence-Venkatesh methods via relative completion. In this work, we refine Kantor's approach by addressing its limitations, achieving the first unification where a…

We give an alternative proof of Faltings's theorem (Mordell's conjecture): a curve of genus at least two over a number field has finitely many rational points. Our argument utilizes the set-up of Faltings's original proof, but is in spirit…

In this article we give an algorithm for the computation of the number of rational points on the Jacobian variety of a generic ordinary hyperelliptic curve defined over a finite field of cardinality $q$ with time complexity $O(n^{2+o(1)})$…

Bruin and Najman, Ozman and Siksek, and Box described all the quadratic points on the modular curves of genus $2\leq g(X_0(n)) \leq 5$. Since all the hyperelliptic curves $X_0(n)$ are of genus $\leq 5$ and as a curve can have infinitely…

We prove finiteness and give an explicit upper bound on the number of $S$-integral points on affine curves satisfying a certain rank-genus inequality. We achieve this by developing an analogue of the Chabauty method, embedding the curve…

Let $k$ be a number field. We investigate the Mordell-Weil ranks of Jacobian varieties $J_C$ associated with algebraic curves $C$ of genus $g \geq 1$ defined by affine equations of the form $y^s=x(ax^r+b)$, where $a, b \in k$ ($ab \neq 0$),…

The Chabauty--Kim method is a tool for finding the integral or rational points on varieties over number fields via certain transcendental $p$-adic analytic functions arising from certain Selmer schemes associated to the unipotent…
