Diophantine Approximation and Abelian Varieties: Introductory Lectures

by Bas Edixhoven (editor)

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 at a special conference for graduate students, on the topic of Faltings' paper.
