Number Theory Seminar: Arithmetic dynamics
- Date: 01/21/2010
Lecturer(s):
Dragos Ghioca (University of Lethbridge)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Description:
Starting from a classical result of Skolem, Mahler and Lech for linear
recurrence sequences, we present an algebraic geometric generalization
of it. Then we interpret our result from the point of view of dynamics,
linking it with the Mordell-Lang conjecture from Diophantine Geometry.
We conclude by studying another dynamical question which generalizes
the Manin-Mumford conjecture.
