Abstract: We prove that the set of `low rank' points on sufficiently large fibre powers of families of curves are not Zariski dense. The recent work of Dimitrov--Gao--Habegger and K"uhne (and Yuan) imply the existence of a bound which is exponential in the rank, and the Zilber--Pink conjecture implies a bound which is linear in the rank. Our main result is a (slightly weaker) linear bound for `low ranks'. We also prove analogous results for isotrivial families (with relaxed conditions on the rank) and for solutions to the $S$-unit equation, where the bounds are now sub-exponential in the rank. Our proof involves a notion of the Chabauty--Coleman(--Kim) method in families (or, in some sense, for simply connected varieties). For Zariski non-density, we use the recent work of Bl`azquez-Sanz, Casale, Freitag and Nagloo on Ax--Schanuel theorems for foliations on principal bundles.
