Elkies, Harvard University, elkies@math.harvard.edu Let C be a (smooth, projective, absolutely irreducible) curve of genus g ¥ 2 over a number eld K. Faltings [Fa1, Fa2] proved that the set C(K) of K-rational points of C is nite, as conjectured by Mordell. The proof can even yield an e ective upper bound on the size #C(K) of this set (though not, in general, a provably complete list of points); but this bound depends on the arithmetic of C. This suggests the question of how
