In the last 15 years new methods w ere developed that can sometimes effectively solve this problem. These met hods attempt to find the solutions inside the larger set of solutions of t he same equation in the field of p-adic numbers as the vanishing set of so me computable function. When these methods work they give the rational sol utions to arbitrarily large p-adic precision\, which usually suffices to r igorously recover the full set of solutions. I will survey the new methods \, originating from the work of Kim and from the more recent work of Lawre nce and Venkatesh. I will then explain my work with Muller and Srinivasan that uses a p-adic version of the notion of norms on line bundles and asso ciated heights\, as used for example in arithmetic dynamics\, to give a ne w approach to some Kim type results.\n\n \n PLACE\n Université Concordia\, Li brary Building\, 9th floor\, room LB 921-4\n \n ZOOM \n https://us06web.zoom. us/j/84226701306?pwd=UEZ5NVpZaUlldW5qNU8vZzIvbEJXQT09\n ID : 842 2670 1306 / CODE : 692788\n \n ORGANIZERS\n Erica Moodie (9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ)\n Giovanni Rosso (Concordia University)\n Alina Stancu (Concordia University)\n Hugh R.
