We compute the rational points on the Atkin-Lehner quotient $X^+_0(125)$ using the quadratic Chabauty method. Our work completes the study of exceptional rational points on the curves $X^+_0(N)$ of genus between 2 and 6. Together with the…

Let V be a plane smooth cubic curve over a finitely generated field k. The Mordell-Weil theorem for V states that there is a finite subset P \subset V(k) such that the whole V(k) can be obtained from P by drawing secants and tangents…

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…

We establish several surjectivity theorems regarding the Galois groups of small iterates of $\phi_c(x)=x^2+c$ for $c\in\mathbb{Q}$. To do this, we use explicit techniques from the theory of rational points on curves, including the method of…

A fundamental problem in arithmetic geometry is to determine the image of the mod $N$ Galois representation for all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and integers $N \geq 1$. For a given subgroup $G \le…

We give a completely explicit upper bound for integral points on (standard) affine models of hyperelliptic curves, provided we know at least one rational point and a Mordell-Weil basis of the Jacobian. We also explain a powerful refinement…

We use a global version of Heath-Brown's $p-$adic determinant method developed by Salberger to give upper bounds for the number of rational points of height at most $B$ on non-singular cubic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. The bounds are…

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…

We compute the Mordell-Weil groups of the modular Jacobian varieties of hyperelliptic modular curves $X_1(M, MN)$ over every number field which is the composition of quadratic fields. Also we prove criteria for the existence of elliptic…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective absolutely irreducible curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over a number field $K$ of degree $d$, and denote its Jacobian by $J$. Denote the Mordell--Weil rank of $J(K)$ by $r$. We give an explicit and practical…

We give an introductory account of two recent approaches towards an effective proof of the Mordell conjecture, due to Lawrence--Venkatesh and Kim. The latter method, which is usually called the method of Chabauty--Kim or non-abelian…

Thanks to work of Rouse, Sutherland, and Zureick-Brown, it is known exactly which subgroups of GL$_2(\mathbf{Z}_3)$ can occur as the image of the $3$-adic Galois representation attached to a non-CM elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$, with a…

We provably compute the full set of rational points on 1403 Picard curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with Jacobians of Mordell-Weil rank $1$ using the Chabauty-Coleman method. To carry out this computation, we extend Magma code of…

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…

For Atkin-Lehner quotients $X_0^+(N)$, of prime level and of genus at least 2, we provide an algorithm for computing one of the main objects in the quadratic Chabauty algorithm in terms of weakly holomorphic modular forms associated to the…

The distribution of degree $d$ points on curves is well understood, especially for low degrees. We refine this study to include information on the Galois group in the simplest interesting case: $d = 3$. For curves of genus at least 5, we…

The main point of the paper is to take the explicit motivic Chabauty-Kim method developed in papers of Dan-Cohen--Wewers and Dan-Cohen and the author and make it work for non-rational curves. In particular, we calculate the abstract form of…

We study the Selmer varieties of smooth projective curves of genus at least two defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ which geometrically dominate a curve with CM Jacobian. We extend a result of Coates and Kim to show that Kim's non-abelian Chabauty…

We describe a computation of rational points on genus 3 hyperelliptic curves $C$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose Jacobians have Mordell-Weil rank 1. Using the method of Chabauty and Coleman, we present and implement an algorithm in Sage to…
