Abstract: Lawrence and Venkatesh (2020) gave a new proof of Faltings’s theorem based on the geometric control of p-adic Galois representations via p-adic period maps and monodromy. In this talk, I will outline their approach through a toy case—the S-unit equation—where the relevant monodromy computation can be made explicit using a modified Legendre family.
