Algebraic geometry is a rich branch of mathematics which unifies algebra, topology, number theory, and differential geometry. It allows one to reformulate questions which seem to be about algebra or numbers into geometrical questions about shape, or vice versa. Its origins lie in the realization that finding solutions to algebraic equations or understanding the properties of the solutions are intimately tied to the intrinsic geometric nature of the algebraic varieties those equations describe. The Lang-Vojta conjectures are one of the most spectacular realizations of this philosophy. In general terms they connect the global behaviour of rational solutions of equations to the global behaviour of the curvature on the corresponding algebraic variety.

代数几何是数学的一个丰富的分支，它统一了代数学、拓扑学、数论和微分几何。它允许一个重新制定的问题，似乎是关于代数或数字到几何问题的形状，反之亦然。它的起源在于认识到，寻找代数方程的解或理解解的性质与这些方程所描述的代数簇的内在几何性质密切相关。Lang-Vojta的著作是这一哲学最引人注目的实现之一。 在一般情况下，他们连接的全球行为的合理解决方案的方程的全球行为的曲率对相应的代数品种。
