Zhang's finiteness conjecture for small specializations of sections
Zhang's finiteness conjecture for small specializations of sections
Let be a non-isotrivial family of abelian varieties over a number field , with generic fiber simple of dimension at least two. A section is non-torsion if it is not a torsion section, and denotes the canonical height of its specialization at . Zhang's conjecture. For each non-torsion section defined over , there exists an such that
is finite. The conjecture predicts a strong finiteness property for points where a non-torsion section specializes to a point of uniformly small canonical height; it would make simultaneous sequences of small specializations highly constrained. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source context.
