The Chabauty-Kim method is an effective algorithm for finding the $S$-integral points of hyperbolic curves by directly using the hyperbolicity in group-cohomological arguments. Central objects in the theory are affine spaces known as a Selmer schemes. We'll introduce the CK method and Selmer schemes, and demonstrate some additional structures possessed by Selmer schemes which can aid in implementing the CK method.
