Abstract: A classical problem in mathematics is the study of the rational solutions of a Diophantine problem, i.e. a finite system of polynomial equations with integral coefficients. In particular, one might ask when the number of these solutions is infinite. At least conjecturally, the answer to these questions is closely related to the geometry of the varieties defined by such polynomials. Campana's program is a new method to approach these problems. This talk will be accessible to a general audience and no prior knowledge of the subjects involved is required. |
