Faltings' theorem
Theorem
Faltings' theorem is a result in arithmetic geometry, according to which a non-singular algebraic curve of genus greater than 1 over the field Q {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} } of rational numbers has only finitely many rational points. This was conjectured in 1922 by Louis Mordell, and known as the Mordell conjecture until its 1983 proof by Gerd Faltings.

Faltings' theorem is a result in arithmetic geometry, according to which a non-singular algebraic curve of genus greater than 1 over the field Q {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} } of rational numbers has only finitely many rational points. This was conjectured in 1922 by Louis Mordell, and known as the Mordell conjecture until its 1983 proof by Gerd Faltings. The conjecture was later generalized by replacing Q {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} } by any number field.
