Abstract
We prove finiteness and give an explicit upper bound on the number of -integral points on affine curves satisfying a certain rank-genus inequality. We achieve this by developing an analogue of the Chabauty method, embedding the curve into its generalised Jacobian and bounding the Abel-Jacobi image of the -integral points using arithmetic intersection theory. Our results also provide the foundations for a computational method to determine the set of -integral points on affine curves which will be presented in a follow-up article.
