Uniform Mordell–Lang conjecture for curves

About 13 years old · traced to

Let g≥2g\ge 2 and r≥0r\ge 0. For a curve CC over C\mathbb{C} of genus gg, let JJ be its Jacobian and let ι ⁣:C→J\iota\colon C\to J be an embedding. Let Γ⊂J(C)\Gamma\subset J(\mathbb{C}) be a subgroup of rank rr. Uniform Mordell–Lang conjecture for curves. There is a constant N(g,r)N(g,r) such that

#ι−1(Γ)≤N(g,r).\#\iota^{-1}(\Gamma)\le N(g,r).

For each individual curve and subgroup, finiteness follows from work of Faltings, while heuristic arguments and results over function fields support the existence of a uniform bound; the complex case remains open and is related in the source to a special case of the Zilber–Pink conjecture.
