Stoll's uniform polynomial height-bound conjecture for genus-2 curves

Let CN{\mathcal C}_N be the family of genus-22 curves defined by integral binary sextics with coefficients bounded in absolute value by NN. For a rational point PP on such a curve, let H(P)H(P) denote the height of its xx-coordinate. Stoll's uniform height-bound conjecture. There are constants κ\kappa and BB such that every rational point PP on every curve CCNC\in{\mathcal C}_N satisfies

H(P)BNκ.H(P)\leq BN^\kappa.

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 κ=1/2\kappa=1/2; an unconditional general bound remains open.
