A short note on Manin-Mumford

Number Theory 2020-03-04 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We give a short proof of Manin-Mumford in the multiplicative group based on the pigeon-hole principle and the so-called structure theorem for anomalous subvarieties. The arguments appear to be new and perhaps applicable in other situations.
