Summary: The Mordell Conjecture states that a smooth projective curve of genus at least defined over number field \(F\) admits only finitely many \(F\)-rational points. It was proved by Faltings in the 1980s and again using a different strategy by Vojta. Despite there being two different proofs of the Mordell Conjecture, many important questions regarding the set of \(F\)-rational points remain open. This survey concerns recent developments towards upper bounds on the number of rational points in connection with a question of Mazur. For the entire collection see [Zbl 07816357].
