Algorithm for computing rational points if the rank of Jacobian is 0

Is there a general algorithm that can compute in finite time all rational points on any curve of genus $g\geq 2$ whose Jacobian has rank $0$? If not, for what special cases such algorithm is known? ...

Reference request. Finiteness of the Selmer group

Let $K$ be a global field (ie either a number field or the function field of a curve over a finite field). Let $A,B$ be abelian varieties over $K$ and let $\phi:A\to B$ be an isogeny. Associated with $...

Bounds for the number of points on projective hyperelliptic curves over finite fields

Let $C$ be projective hyperelliptic curve over finite field $K$. What are bounds for the number of points $\#C(K)$? The Hasse-Weil bound requires smooth curves, and hyperelliptic curves are not smooth ...

Around the diophantine equation $\frac{a}{2b+3c}+\frac{b}{2c+3a}+\frac{c}{2a+3b}=\text{odd integer}$, over positive integers

I am interested to know if a similar theorem that shows this answer of the post Estimating the size of solutions of a diophantine equation (this MathOverflow, January 5th 2016) is feasible for a ...

What is the exact statement about uniform boundedness of rational points on curves of genus greater than one? Singular points can be unbounded

According to several sources, it is conjectured (or at least believed) that the rational points of curves over the rationals of genus $g > 1$ are uniformly bounded by $g$. E.g. here p. 1. Assuming ...

Benchmark problems for computing rational points on varieties

Are there standard benchmark problem sets used for empirically evaluating algorithms designed for computing rational points on (various classes of) algebraic varieties? If so, could you please point ...

Integer-distance sets

Let $S$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$; I am especially interested in $d=2$. Say that $S$ is an integer-distance set if every pair of points in $S$ is separated by an integer Euclidean distance. ...

Pick's Theorem for rational points of bounded height

I wonder if the various lattice-point theorems, such as Pick's Theorem or Minkowski's Lattice Theorem, have been generalized to the collection of points with rational coordinates no more than height ...
