DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present some connections bet
 ween recent research in dynamical systems and the 
 classical theory of elliptic curves and rational p
 oints.  The main goal is to illustrate the role of
  dynamical stability and bifurcations in deducing 
 arithmetic finiteness statements.  I will focus on
  three examples:  (1)  the theorem of Mordell and 
 Weil from the 1920s\, presented from a dynamical p
 oint of view\; (2) a recent result of Masser and Z
 annier about torsion points on elliptic curves\, a
 nd (3) features of the Mandelbrot set.\n\n\nThere 
 will be a wine reception following the talk in the
  Central Core.
