In the present article, we study the following problem. Let $\boldsymbol {G}$ be a linear algebraic group over $\mathbb {Q}$, let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic lattice, and let $\boldsymbol {H}$ be an observable $\mathbb {Q}$-subgroup. There is a $H$-invariant measure $\mu _H$ supported on the closed submanifold $H\Gamma /\Gamma$. Given a sequence $(g_n)$ in $G$, we study the limiting behavior of $(g_n)_*\mu _H$ under the weak-$*$ topology. In the non-divergent case, we give a rather complete classification. We further supplement this by giving a criterion of non-divergence and prove non-divergence for arbitrary sequence $(g_n)$ for certain large $\boldsymbol {H}$. We also discuss some examples and applications of our result. This work can be viewed as a natural extension of the work of Eskin–Mozes–Shah and Shapira–Zheng.

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field complete with respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value of arbitrary characteristic. Let ${{D}_{1}},...,\,{{D}_{n}}$ be effective nef divisors intersecting transversally in an $n$-dimensional nonsingular projective variety $X$. We study the degeneracy of non-Archimedean analytic maps from $\mathbf{k}$ into $X\,\backslash \,\cup _{i=1}^{n}\,{{D}_{i}}$ under various geometric conditions. When $X$ is a rational ruled surface and ${{D}_{1}}$ and ${{D}_{2}}$ are ample, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition such that there is no non-Archimedean analytic map from $\mathbf{k}$ into $X\,\backslash \,{{D}_{1}}\,\cup \,{{D}_{2}}$. Using the dictionary between non-Archimedean Nevanlinna theory and Diophantine approximation that originated in earlier work with T. T. H. An, we also study arithmetic analogues of these problems, establishing results on integral points on these varieties over $\mathbb{Z}$ or the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field.

We generalize Siegel’s theorem on integral points on affine curves to integral points of bounded degree, giving a complete characterization of affine curves with infinitely many integral points of degree $d$ or less over some number field. Generalizing Picard’s theorem, we prove an analogous result characterizing complex affine curves admitting a nonconstant holomorphic map from a degree $d$ (or less) analytic cover of $\mathbb{C}$.

An integer may be represented by a quadratic form over each ring of p-adic integers and over the reals without being represented by this quadratic form over the integers. More generally, such failure of a local-global principle may occur for the representation of one integral quadratic form by another integral quadratic form. We show that many such examples may be accounted for by a Brauer–Manin obstruction for the existence of integral points on schemes defined over the integers. For several types of homogeneous spaces of linear algebraic groups, this obstruction is shown to be the only obstruction to the existence of integral points.

Let $C\subset C_1\times C_2$ be a curve of type $(d_1,d_2)$ in the product of the two curves $C_1$ and $C_2$. Let $\nu$ be a positive integer. We prove that if a certain inequality involving $d_1,\ d_2,\ \nu$, and the genera of the curves $C_1,\ C_2$, and $C$ is satisfied, then the set of points $\{P\in C(\bar{k})\mid[k(P):k]\leq \nu\}$ 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.

In an earlier paper we developed an algorithm for computing all integral points on elliptic curves over the rationals Q. Here we illustrate our method by applying it to Mordell‘s Equation y$^2$=x$^3+$k for 0 ≠ k ∈ Z and draw some conclusions from our numerical findings. In fact we solve Mordell‘s Equation in Z for all integers k within the range 0 < | k | [les ] 10 000 and partially extend the computations to 0 < | k | [les ] 100 000. For these values of k, the constant in Hall‘s conjecture turns out to be C=5. Some other interesting observations are made concerning large integer points, large generators of the Mordell–Weil group and large Tate–Shafarevič groups. Three graphs illustrate the distribution of integer points in dependence on the parameter k. One interesting feature is the occurrence of lines in the graphs.

It is known that Siegel's theorem on integral points is effective for Galois coverings of the projective line. In this paper we obtain a quantitative version of this result, giving an explicit upper bound for the heights of S-integral K-rational points in terms of the number field K, the set of places S and the defining equation of the curve. Our main tools are Baker's theory of linear forms in logarithms and the quantitative Eisenstein theorem due to Schmidt, Dwork and van der Poorten.
