Abstract
It is known that for a curve defined over of genus , there exists a point on the curve defined over a solvable extension of . We relate points on curves of genus over solvable extensions to the Bombieri-Lang conjecture. Specifically, we show that varieties parametrising points defined over extensions with a fixed solvable Galois group are of general type. Moreover, we show the existence of certain subvarieties in these varieties imply the existence of solvable morphisms from the curve.
