Jennifer Balakrishnan: A tale of three curves (NTWS 022)
Channel: Number Theory Web Seminar
Date: 2023-04-12

Abstract: We will describe variants of the Chabauty-Coleman method and quadratic Chabauty to determine rational points on curves. In so doing, we will highlight some recent examples where the techniques have been used: this includes a problem of Diophantus originally solved by Wetherell and the problem of the "cursed curve", the split Cartan modular curve of level 13. This is joint work with Netan Dogra, Steffen Mueller, Jan Tuitman, and Jan Vonk.
