Abstract:
Let \( A \) be an algebraic group defined over a number field \( \ K \ \), let \( \ P \ \) be a point in \( \ A(K) \ \),
and let \( \ G \ \) be a finitely generated subgroup of \( \ A(K) \ \). If \( \ P \ \) belongs to \( \ G \ \), then clearly
its reduction \( \ (P \bmod \mathfrak p) \ \) belongs to \( \ (G \bmod \mathfrak p) \ \) for all but finitely
many primes \( \ \mathfrak p \ \) of \( \ K \ \) (notice that we only consider those primes \( \ \mathfrak p \ \) such
that the reductions are well-defined, and are ''good'' reductions). The problem of detecting linear
dependence asks whether the converse holds, so whether we have a local-global principle.
In this survey article we also investigate the problem of detecting linear dependence for torsion points.
