Analysis seminar: Height functions in complex dynamics
22 May 2017, 4.00 PM - 22 May 2017, 5.00 PM
Holly Krieger, University of Cambridge
Howard House, 4th floor seminar room
Abstract:
I will discuss the role of height functions in complex and arithmetic dynamics, with a focus on applications to problems in unlikely intersections. This includes a dynamical analogue of the André-Oort conjecture proved by myself, Ghioca, Nguyen, and Ye, as well as recent work on bounded height theorems analogous to those of Bombieri-Masser-Zannier.
