Let d be a positive integer. We prove that if a certain inequality involving d_1, d_2, d, and the genera of the curves C_1, C_2, and C is satisfied, then the set of points P in C(\\kbar) with [k(P):k]<=d is finite for any number field k. We prove a similar result for integral points of bounded degree on C. These results are obtained as consequences of an inequality of Vojta which generalizes the Roth-Wirsing theorem to curves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-01-27T19:55:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G30", "14G40", "14H25" ], "keywords": [ "integral points", "bounded degree", "vojtas inequality", "number field", "similar result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......1686L" } } }
