Vojta's conjecture for smooth projective schemes

Let kk be a number field. Let XX be a smooth projective scheme over kk, let HH be a big line bundle on XX, let rr be a positive integer, and fix δ>0\delta>0. For a closed point xXx\in X, write k(x)k(x) for its residue field, hKX(x)h_{K_X}(x) for the height associated with the canonical bundle, hH(x)h_H(x) for the height associated with HH, and dk(k(x))d_k(k(x)) for the relative logarithmic discriminant. Then there exists a proper Zariski closed subset ZXZ\subset X such that, for all closed points xXx\in X with xZx\notin Z and [k(x):k]r[k(x):k]\leq r,

hKX(x)δhH(x)dk(k(x))+O(1).h_{K_X}(x)-\delta h_H(x)\leq d_k(k(x))+O(1).

Vojta's conjecture. The stated inequality holds for all such closed points outside ZZ.

This is a height-theoretic conjecture extending Vojta's framework to the setting needed for the paper, and the paper notes that it implies a version for algebraic stacks. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
