Abstract

One of the themes of the summer school is the distribution of “special points” on varieties. In Heath-Brown’s lectures we study rational points on projective hyper-surfaces; in Ullmo’s course we study Galois orbits and Duke’s lectures deal with CM-points on the modular curve. This lecture concerns one of the earliest examples, namely torsion points on group varieties.
