Title: A brief overview of the Chabauty Method

Speaker:  Nick Geis - The Ohio State University

Abstract: Given a curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ of genus $g > 1$, Faltings's Theorem says that the set of rational points is finite. However, the theorem does not provide an explicit bound on this number. This talk will give a brief overview of the method of Chabauty and Coleman, which, under certain conditions, provides estimates for these sizes.
