In particular, we show these assumptions are satisfied for random power series, for some explicit classes of lacunary series, and for solutions of linear differential equations with coefficients in ${\\bf Q}[z]$. As a consequence, for any function $f$ in these families, $\\Gamma_f$ has less than $\\beta \\log^\\alpha T$ rational points of height at most $T$, for some $\\alpha, \\beta >0$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-08T14:39:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14P05", "11G50" ], "keywords": [ "analytic function", "rational points", "random power series", "linear differential equations", "intersection points" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
