The Arithmetic of K3 Surfaces
Christopher Nicholls
(Oxford)
Abstract
The study of rational points on K3 surfaces has recently seen a lot of activity. We discuss how to compute the Picard rank of a K3 surface over a number field, and the implications for the Brauer-Manin obstruction.

Some ideas on rational/integral points on algebraic curves
Junghwan Lim
(Oxford)
Abstract
I will introduce classical results on finiteness theorem with a way of connecting them to idea of covering spaces. I will talk about the proof of FLT under this connection.
