Vojta's Main Conjecture is an inequality of local heights, describing how the arithmetic is controlled by the geometry. Here, the 'arithmetic' is how p-adically close a rational point can be to a divisor, and the 'geometry' is how negative the canonical divisor is. It is a very deep conjecture, implying Mordell's conjecture (Faltings' theorem), Schmidt's subspace theorem, and Bombieri--Lang conjecture among others.
In this talk, I will discuss Vojta's conjecture on multiple blowups of the projective plane. Some cases can be proved unconditionally, while other cases have inter-relations with the abc conjecture, which is usually thought to be a (very deep) arithmetic geometry of dimension 1. Some (presumably new) properties of Farey sequences will be a key to our proofs.
