Arithmetic geometry

The hyperelliptic curve defined by has only finitely many rational points (such as the points and ) by Faltings's theorem.

In mathematics, arithmetic geometry is roughly the application of techniques from algebraic geometry to problems in number theory.[1] Arithmetic geometry is centered around Diophantine geometry, the study of rational points of algebraic varieties.[2][3]

In more abstract terms, arithmetic geometry can be defined as the study of schemes of finite type over the spectrum of the ring of integers.[4]
