Canonical reduction for arithmetic modular heights

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let (X,L)(X,L) be a normal projective variety over a number field KK, and consider integral projective models (X,L)(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{L}) over rings of integers OK′\mathcal{O}_{K'} of finite extensions K′/KK'/K. Call a model hKh_K-minimising if it has minimal hKh_K among all such models of (X,L)(X,L). Canonical reduction. An hKh_K-minimising model has reduced and semi-log-canonical geometric fibers; if the generic fiber is a klt Q\mathbb{Q}-Fano variety, every fiber is klt and Q\mathbb{Q}-Fano; and if KF≡aL∣FK_F\equiv a\mathcal{L}|_F with a≥0a\geq0, then hK(X,L)h_K(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{L}) is minimal among all models if and only if every fiber GG is reduced and geometrically semi-log-canonical with KG≡aL∣GK_G\equiv a\mathcal{L}|_G. This conjectural description is presented as the arithmetic counterpart of canonical or stable reduction, and the source gives no resolution evidence.
