Generalizations of Tsen's theorem
Abstract:
Tsen's theorem says roughly that polynomials of low degree in many variables over the field of meromorphic functions on a compact Riemann surface always have solutions. I will discuss work with Harris, Starr, and Mazur which suggests that this theorem is best understood in connection with the geometry of rational curves.
