Course/Module description:
Abstract: The Chabauty method is a remarkable tool which employs
p-adic analitic methods (in particular Colman integration.) To study
rational points on curves. However the method can be applied only when
the genus of the curve in question is larger than its Mordell-Weil
rank. Kim developed a sophisticated "nonableian" generalisation.
We shall present the classical methid, and give an approachable
introduction to Kim's method.
