Generalizations of Siegel’s and Picard’s theorems

Abstract

We prove new theorems that are higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical theorems of Siegel on integral points on affine curves and of Picard on holomorphic maps from $\mathbb{C}$ to affine curves. These include results on integral points over varying number fields of bounded degree and results on Kobayashi hyperbolicity. We give a number of new conjectures describing, from our point of view, how we expect Siegel’s and Picard’s theorems to optimally generalize to higher dimensions.
