Mazur's Torsion Theorem
In algebraic geometry and number theory, the torsion conjecture or uniform boundedness conjecture for torsion points for abelian varieties states that the order of the torsion group of an abelian variety over a number field can be bounded in terms of the dimension of the variety and the number field. A stronger version of the conjecture is that the torsion is bounded in terms of the dimension of the variety and the degree of the number field. The torsion conjecture has been completely resolved in the case of elliptic curves. Elliptic curves From 1906 to 1911, Beppo Levi published a series of papers investigating the possible finite orders of points on elliptic curves over the rationals. He showed that there are infinitely many elliptic curves over the rationals with the following torsion groups: * ''C''''n'' with 1 ≤ ''n'' ≤ 10, where ''C''''n'' denotes the cyclic group of order ''n''; * ''C''12; * ''C''2n × ''C''2 with 1 ≤ ''n'' ≤ 4, where × denotes the direct sum.

Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometry, geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zero of a function, zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects. The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic variety, algebraic varieties, which are geometric manifestations of solution set, solutions of systems of polynomial equations. Examples of the most studied classes of algebraic varieties are line (geometry), lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, cubic curves like elliptic curves, and quartic curves like lemniscate of Bernoulli, lemniscates and Cassini ovals. These are plane algebraic curves. A point of the plane lies on an algebraic curve if its coordinates satisfy a given polynomial equation. Basic questions involve the study of points of special interest like singular point of a curve, singular p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quadratic Field
In algebraic number theory, a quadratic field is an algebraic number field of Degree of a field extension, degree two over \mathbf, the rational numbers. Every such quadratic field is some \mathbf(\sqrt) where d is a (uniquely defined) square-free integer different from 0 and 1. If d>0, the corresponding quadratic field is called a real quadratic field, and, if d<0, it is called an imaginary quadratic field or a complex quadratic field, corresponding to whether or not it is a Field extension, subfield of the field of the real numbers. Quadratic fields have been studied in great depth, initially as part of the theory of binary quadratic forms. There remain some unsolved problems. The class number problem is particularly important.

Abelian Varieties
In mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry, complex analysis and algebraic number theory, an abelian variety is a smooth projective algebraic variety that is also an algebraic group, i.e., has a group law that can be defined by regular functions. Abelian varieties are at the same time among the most studied objects in algebraic geometry and indispensable tools for research on other topics in algebraic geometry and number theory. An abelian variety can be defined by equations having coefficients in any field; the variety is then said to be defined ''over'' that field. Historically the first abelian varieties to be studied were those defined over the field of complex numbers. Such abelian varieties turn out to be exactly those Complex torus, complex tori that can be holomorphic, holomorphically embedded into a complex projective space. Abelian varieties defined over algebraic number fields are a special case, which is important also from the viewpoint of number theory. L ...

The Mathematical Intelligencer
''The Mathematical Intelligencer'' is a mathematical journal published by Springer Science+Business Media that aims at a conversational and scholarly tone, rather than the technical and specialist tone more common among academic journals. Volumes are released quarterly with a subset of open access articles. Some articles have been cross-published in the ''Scientific American''. Karen Parshall and Sergei Tabachnikov are currently the co-editors-in-chief. History The journal was started informally in 1971 by Walter Kaufmann-Buehler and Alice and Klaus Peters. "Intelligencer" was chosen by Kaufmann-Buehler as a word that would appear slightly old-fashioned. An exploration of mathematically themed stamps, written by Robin Wilson, became one of its earliest columns. Prior to 1977, articles of the ''Intelligencer'' were not contained in regular volumes and were sent out sporadically to those on a mailing list. To gauge interest, the inaugural mailing included twelve thousand people ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uniform Boundedness Conjecture For Rational Points
In arithmetic geometry, the uniform boundedness conjecture for rational points asserts that for a given number field K and a positive integer g \geq 2 , there exists a number N(K,g) depending only on K and g such that for any algebraic curve C defined over K having genus equal to g has at most N(K,g) K-rational points. This is a refinement of Faltings's theorem, which asserts that the set of K-rational points C(K) is necessarily finite. Progress The first significant progress towards the conjecture was due to Caporaso, Harris, and Mazur. They proved that the conjecture holds if one assumes the Bombieri–Lang conjecture. Mazur's conjecture B Mazur's conjecture B is a weaker variant of the uniform boundedness conjecture that asserts that there should be a number N(K,g,r) such that for any algebraic curve C defined over K having genus g and whose Jacobian variety J_C has Mordell–Weil rank over K equal to r, the number of K-rational points of C is at most N(K,g,r).

Uniform Boundedness Conjecture For Preperiodic Points
Arithmetic dynamics is a field that amalgamates two areas of mathematics, dynamical systems and number theory. Part of the inspiration comes from complex dynamics, the study of the iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or other complex algebraic varieties. Arithmetic dynamics is the study of the number-theoretic properties of integer, rational, -adic, 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 complex 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.

Bombieri–Lang Conjecture
In arithmetic geometry, the Bombieri–Lang conjecture is an unsolved problem conjectured by Enrico Bombieri and Serge Lang about the Zariski density of the set of rational points of an algebraic variety of general type. Statement The weak Bombieri–Lang conjecture for surfaces states that if X is a smooth surface of general type defined over a number field k, then the points of X do not form a dense set in the Zariski topology on X. The general form of the Bombieri–Lang conjecture states that if X is a positive-dimensional algebraic variety of general type defined over a number field k, then the points of X do not form a dense set in the Zariski topology. The refined form of the Bombieri–Lang conjecture states that if X is an algebraic variety of general type defined over a number field k, then there is a dense open subset U of X such that for all number field extensions k' over k, the set of points in U is finite.
