Elliptische Funktionenkörper mit schlechter Reduktion.
We present a survey of results on word equations in simple groups, as well as their analogues and generalizations, which were obtained over the past decade using various methods: group-theoretic and coming from algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory, dynamical systems and computer algebra. Our focus is on interrelations of these machineries which led to numerous spectacular achievements, including solutions of several long-standing problems.
We compute, in a unified way, the equations of all hyperelliptic modular curves. The main tool is provided by a class of modular functions introduced by Newman in 1957. The method uses the action of the hyperelliptic involution on the cusps.
On montre dans cet article que le théorème d’équidistribution de Szpiro-Ullmo-Zhang concernant les suites de petits points sur les variétés abéliennes s’étend au cas des suites de sous-variétés. On donne également une version quantitative de ce résultat.
