Description for Some Problems of Unlikely Intersections in Arithmetic and Geometry (AM-181)
Paperback. Considers the so-called Unlikely Intersections, a topic that embraces well-known issues, such as Lang's and Manin-Mumford's, concerning torsion points in subvarieties of tori or abelian varieties. This book considers algebraic subgroups that meet a given subvariety in a set of unlikely dimension. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: PBMW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 174 x 254 x 5. Weight in Grams: 316.
This book considers the so-called Unlikely Intersections, a topic that embraces well-known issues, such as Lang's and Manin-Mumford's, concerning torsion points in subvarieties of tori or abelian varieties. More generally, the book considers algebraic subgroups that meet a given subvariety in a set of unlikely dimension. The book is an expansion of the Hermann Weyl Lectures delivered by Umberto Zannier at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in May 2010. The book consists of four chapters and seven brief appendixes, the last six by David Masser. The first chapter considers multiplicative algebraic groups, presenting proofs of several developments, ranging ... Read more

Reviews for Some Problems of Unlikely Intersections in Arithmetic and Geometry (AM-181)
"Zannier's book is well written and a pleasure to read... [T]he author always makes an effort to point out key ideas and key steps, so a reader who wants to read and understand the complete proofs in this technically demanding field will find this monograph to be an extremely helpful entree into the subject... [T]he reviewer highly recommends Zannier's book ... Read more
