Heights, Transcendence, and Linear Independence on Commutative Group Varieties

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Diophantine Approximation

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics ((LNMCIME,volume 1819))

Abstract

Of course it is impossible for four lecturers to cover the whole of diophantine approximation and transcendence theory in 24 hours. So each one has to restrict himself to special aspects.
