Uniform Boundedness Conjecture For Preperiodic Points
Arithmetic dynamics is a field that amalgamates two areas of mathematics, dynamical systems and number theory. Classically, discrete dynamics refers to the study of the iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or real line. Arithmetic dynamics is the study of the number-theoretic properties of integer, rational, -adic, and/or algebraic points under repeated application of a polynomial or rational function. A fundamental goal is to describe arithmetic properties in terms of underlying geometric structures. ''Global arithmetic dynamics'' is the study of analogues of classical diophantine geometry in the setting of discrete dynamical systems, while ''local arithmetic dynamics'', also called p-adic or nonarchimedean dynamics, is an analogue of classical dynamics in which one replaces the complex numbers by a -adic field such as or and studies chaotic behavior and the Fatou and Julia sets. The following table describes a rough correspondence between Diophantine equations, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dynamical Systems
In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a pipe, the random motion of particles in the air, and the number of fish each springtime in a lake. The most general definition unifies several concepts in mathematics such as ordinary differential equations and ergodic theory by allowing different choices of the space and how time is measured. Time can be measured by integers, by real or complex numbers or can be a more general algebraic object, losing the memory of its physical origin, and the space may be a manifold or simply a set, without the need of a smooth space-time structure defined on it. At any given time, a dynamical system has a state representing a point in an appropriate state space. This state is often given by a tuple of real numbers or by a vector in a geometrical manif ...

Projective Variety
In algebraic geometry, a projective variety over an algebraically closed field ''k'' is a subset of some projective ''n''-space \mathbb^n over ''k'' that is the zero-locus of some finite family of homogeneous polynomials of ''n'' + 1 variables with coefficients in ''k'', that generate a prime ideal, the defining ideal of the variety. Equivalently, an algebraic variety is projective if it can be embedded as a Zariski closed subvariety of \mathbb^n. A projective variety is a projective curve if its dimension is one; it is a projective surface if its dimension is two; it is a projective hypersurface if its dimension is one less than the dimension of the containing projective space; in this case it is the set of zeros of a single homogeneous polynomial. If ''X'' is a projective variety defined by a homogeneous prime ideal ''I'', then the quotient ring :k _0, \ldots, x_nI is called the homogeneous coordinate ring of ''X''. Basic invariants of ''X'' such as the degree and the dim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Berkovich Space
In mathematics, a Berkovich space, introduced by , is a version of an analytic space over a Non-archimedean field, non-Archimedean field (e.g. P-adic number, ''p''-adic field), refining Tate's notion of a rigid analytic space. Motivation In the Complex number, complex case, algebraic geometry begins by defining the complex affine space to be \Complex^n. For each U\subset\Complex^n, we define \mathcal_U, the Ring (mathematics), ring of analytic functions on U to be the ring of holomorphic functions, i.e. functions on U that can be written as a convergent power series in a Neighborhood (mathematics), neighborhood of each point. We then define a local model space for f_, \ldots, f_\in\mathcal_U to be :X:=\ with \mathcal_X=\mathcal_U/(f_, \ldots,f_). A complex analytic space is a locally ringed \Complex-space (Y, \mathcal_Y) which is locally isomorphic to a local model space. When k is a Complete field, complete non-Archimedean field, we have that k is totally disconnected. In su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gerd Faltings
Gerd Faltings (; born 28 July 1954) is a German mathematician known for his work in arithmetic geometry. Education From 1972 to 1978, Faltings studied mathematics and physics at the University of Münster. In 1978 he received his PhD in mathematics. Career and research In 1981 he obtained the ''venia legendi'' (Habilitation) in mathematics, from the University of Münster. During this time he was an assistant professor at the University of Münster. From 1982 to 1984, he was professor at the University of Wuppertal. From 1985 to 1994, he was professor at Princeton University. In the fall of 1988 and in the academic year 1992–1993 he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study. In 1986 he was awarded the Fields Medal at the ICM at Berkeley for proving the Tate conjecture for abelian varieties over number fields, the Shafarevich conjecture for abelian varieties over number fields and the Mordell conjecture, which states that any non-singular projective curve ...

Faltings's Theorem
In arithmetic geometry, the Mordell conjecture is the conjecture made by Louis Mordell that a curve of Genus (mathematics), genus greater than 1 over the field Q of rational numbers has only finitely many rational points. In 1983 it was proved by Gerd Faltings, and is now known as Faltings's theorem. The conjecture was later generalized by replacing Q by any number field. Background Let ''C'' be a non-singular algebraic curve of genus (mathematics), genus ''g'' over Q. Then the set of rational points on ''C'' may be determined as follows: * Case ''g'' = 0: no points or infinitely many; ''C'' is handled as a conic section. * Case ''g'' = 1: no points, or ''C'' is an elliptic curve and its rational points form a finitely generated abelian group (''Mordell's Theorem'', later generalized to the Mordell–Weil theorem). Moreover, Mazur's torsion theorem restricts the structure of the torsion subgroup. * Case ''g'' > 1: according to the Mordell conjecture, now Faltings's theorem, ''C'' ...

Manin-Mumford Conjecture
In mathematics, the arithmetic of abelian varieties is the study of the number theory of an abelian variety, or a family of abelian varieties. It goes back to the studies of Pierre de Fermat on what are now recognized as elliptic curves; and has become a very substantial area of arithmetic geometry both in terms of results and conjectures. Most of these can be posed for an abelian variety ''A'' over a number field ''K''; or more generally (for global fields or more general finitely-generated rings or fields). Integer points on abelian varieties There is some tension here between concepts: ''integer point'' belongs in a sense to affine geometry, while ''abelian variety'' is inherently defined in projective geometry. The basic results, such as Siegel's theorem on integral points, come from the theory of diophantine approximation. Rational points on abelian varieties The basic result, the Mordell–Weil theorem in Diophantine geometry, says that ''A''(''K''), the group of points on ...

Shouwu Zhang
Shou-Wu Zhang (; born October 9, 1962) is a Chinese-American mathematician known for his work in number theory and arithmetic geometry. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University. Biography Early life Shou-Wu Zhang was born in Hexian, Ma'anshan, Anhui, China on October 9, 1962. Zhang grew up in a poor farming household and could not attend school until eighth grade due to the Cultural Revolution. He spent most of his childhood raising ducks in the countryside and self-studying mathematics textbooks that he acquired from sent-down youth in trades for frogs. By the time he entered junior high school at the age of fourteen, he had self-learned calculus and had become interested in number theory after reading about Chen Jingrun's proof of Chen's theorem which made substantial progress on Goldbach's conjecture. Education Zhang was admitted to the Sun Yat-sen University chemistry department in 1980 after scoring poorly on his mathematics entrance examinations ...

Birch Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture
In mathematics, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (often called the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture) describes the set of rational solutions to equations defining an elliptic curve. It is an open problem in the field of number theory and is widely recognized as one of the most challenging mathematical problems. It is named after mathematicians Bryan John Birch and Peter Swinnerton-Dyer, who developed the conjecture during the first half of the 1960s with the help of machine computation. , only special cases of the conjecture have been proven. The modern formulation of the conjecture relates arithmetic data associated with an elliptic curve ''E'' over a number field ''K'' to the behaviour of the Hasse–Weil ''L''-function ''L''(''E'', ''s'') of ''E'' at ''s'' = 1. More specifically, it is conjectured that the rank of the abelian group ''E''(''K'') of points of ''E'' is the order of the zero of ''L''(''E'', ''s'') at ''s'' = 1, and the first non-zero ...
