On a motivic method in Diophantine geometry

Abstract:

By studying variation of motivic path torsors associated to a variety, we show how certain nondensity assertions in Diophantine geometry can be translated to problems concerning K-groups. Concrete results then follow based on known (and conjectural) vanishing theorems.
