Rational points on curves

Michael Stoll (2011)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journées Arithmétiques in St. Étienne in July 2009.We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective) geometrically integral curve  C over  . The focus is on practical aspects of this problem in the case that the genus of  C is at least  2 , and therefore the set of rational points is finite.

Refined theorems of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer type

Ki-Seng Tan (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper, we generalize the context of the Mazur-Tate conjecture and sharpen, in a certain way, the statement of the conjecture. Our main result will be to establish the truth of a part of these new sharpened conjectures, provided that one assume the truth of the classical Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures. This is particularly striking in the function field case, where these results can be viewed as being a refinement of the earlier work of Tate and Milne.

Stably rational algebraic tori
