DESCRIPTION:Period mappings and Diophantine equations\n\nI will  give some 
 friendly examples introducing the period mapping. This is an analytic mapp
 ing which controls many aspects of how algebraic varieties change in famil
 ies.\n	\n	After that I will explain joint work with Brian Lawrence which sho
 ws that one can exploit transcendence properties of the period mapping  to
  prove results about Diophantine equations.  For example we  give another 
 proof of the Mordell conjecture (originally proved by Faltings): there are
  only finitely many rational points on an algebraic curve over Q whose gen
 us is at least 2. \n
