Description: The 13 chapters of this book centre around the proof of Theorem 1 of Faltings' paper "Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties", Ann. Math.133 (1991) and together give an approach to the proof that is accessible to Ph.D-level students in number theory and algebraic geometry. Each chapter is based on an instructional lecture given by its author ata special conference for graduate students, on the topic of Faltings' paper.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [123]-127).
Papers presented at the instructional conference for Ph. D. students held April 12-16, 1992 in Soesterberg, the Netherlands.
