Heights and Unlikely Intersections

Using heights and other methods, for example tools from o-minimality, we study various problems in diophantine and arithmetic geometry. The main emphasis is on conjectures on unlikely intersections generalizing the classical Andr'e-Oort, Manin-Mumford, and Mordell-Lang Conjectures. Subprojects directly involving the PI: - Unlikely Intersections and o-Minimality (cooperation with J. Pila) - Reduction properties of curves in genus 2 with complex multiplication and bad reduction (cooperation with F. Pazuki) - Degenerate cases in the Zilber-Pink Conjecture / CIT (cooperation with M. Bays) - Interplay between group structure and the Bogomolov property involving small height (cooperation with R. Grizzard and L. Pottmeyer) Linda Frey is writing a Ph.D. thesis in the context of this project. Lukas Pottmeyer is a postdoc. Supported by the DFG, German Research Foundation.
