Point-Counting and the Zilber-Pink Conjecture - Lecture 2

Explore an in-depth lecture on the Zilber-Pink conjecture and its connection to point-counting techniques. Delve into this diophantine finiteness conjecture that generalizes the classical Mordell-Lang and Andre-Oort conjectures. Examine the point-counting approach for proving specific cases, with a focus on curves in powers of modular curves. Gain insights into the model-theoretic contexts and essential arithmetic components underlying these conjectures and techniques. Learn from Jonathan Pila of the University of Oxford as he presents this advanced mathematical topic at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) over the course of 1 hour and 49 minutes.
