Remarks on rational points of varieties whose cotangent bundles are generated by global sections (Q1902205)

The author applies a result of Faltings concerning the diophantine approximations of abelian varieties to prove certain results concerning the rational points of a smooth projective variety \(X\) over a number field whose cotangent bundle is generated by global sections. For example he proves that if a smooth connected projective variety \(X\) defined over the number field \(K\) such that \(\Omega^1_{X/K}\) is generated by global sections then every irreducible component of the closure \(X(K)\) is geometrically irreducible and isomorphic to an abelian variety. If moreover \(\Omega^1_{X/K}\) is ample then the set of \(K\)-rational points of \(X\) is finite. This latter statement yields a positive answer to a special case of a conjecture of S. Lang.
