Bogomolov's conjecture for non-isotrivial curves over function fields

Let KK be a function field or a number field, let CC be a smooth projective curve of genus g2g\geq 2 over K\overline{K}, let JCJ_C be its Jacobian, and fix a degree-one divisor DD on CC. Define

BC(P,ϵ):={xC(K)ȷD(x)PNTϵ},B_C(P,\epsilon):=\left\{x\in C(\overline{K})\mid \|\jmath_D(x)-P\|_{NT}\leq \epsilon\right\},

where ȷD(x)=xD\jmath_D(x)=x-D and NT\|\cdot\|_{NT} is the seminorm from a Néron–Tate height associated to a symmetric theta divisor. When KK is a function field, assume that CC is non-isotrivial. Bogomolov's conjecture. For every PJC(K)P\in J_C(\overline{K}), there exists r>0r>0 such that BC(P,r)B_C(P,r) is finite. The conjecture is known for curves over number fields and, as established in this paper, over arbitrary function fields; thus this candidate is solved.
