Computational tool for checking the existence of non-trivial rational zero of a cubic form
Suppose we consider a arbitrary cubic homogeneous form $f$ in in four or five variables over the rational field. Is there any computational tool or algorithm to check whether this cubic homogeneous ...

Finding $K$-rational points on $X_0(35)$
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2})$. How can I compute the $K$-rational points on the modular curve $X_0(35)$?
Recall that $X_0(35)$ is a hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 and has the simplified affine model:

Rational points on surfaces of general type
The weak Lang conjecture asserts that rational points on a variety of general type defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ are not Zariski dense (same replacing $\mathbb{Q}$ with a number field). This one is proved ...
