Abstract


By establishing effective boundedness, some effective estimates for the cardinality of certain finite sets in complex analysis/algebraic geometry are proven. Most notably, an effective uniform version of the finiteness statement of the Shafarevich Conjecture over function fields (Theorem of Parshin-Arakelov) is proven. The proof of this particular result rests on a number of new algebraic geometric results that should be of independent interest.
