Stoll's uniform polynomial height-bound conjecture for genus-2 curves
Let be the family of genus- curves defined by integral binary sextics with coefficients bounded in absolute value by . For a rational point on such a curve, let denote the height of its -coordinate. Stoll's uniform height-bound conjecture. There are constants and such that every rational point on every curve satisfies
The conjecture asserts that rational-point heights are polynomially bounded in the coefficient height uniformly across the whole family. For quadratic twists of a fixed curve, the paper notes that the ABC conjecture implies such a bound with ; an unconditional general bound remains open.
