Five College Number Theory Seminar
Vojta's conjecture on some rational varieties
Yu Yasufuku, CUNY

Vojta's conjecture is a deep conjecture in Diophantine geometry, implying for example the Mordell conjecture (Faltings' theorem) and the Bombieri-Lang conjecture. In this talk, I will show some cases of the conjecture and discuss their arithmetic consequences (such as to properties of GCD's). Moreover, I will talk about some connections with the abc conjecture and arithmetic dynamics.
