In this thesis we consider the density of rational points near manifolds and a bound for the torsion on a simple abelian variety of type IV over a number field. In the first part the main result is an asymptotic for the number of rational points close to a compact parametrized manifold under a significantly weaker curvature condition than previous authors considered. In the second part, which is joined work with Victoria Cantoral-Farfan, we study the torsion subgroup of the Mordell-Weil group of a simple abelian variety of type IV. An optimal exponent is established to give a bound for the order of the torsion subgroup for a finite extension of the base field in terms of the extension degree. As a consequence we obtain a lower bound for the degree of an extension generated by a torsion point.
