Height bound conjecture for modular polynomials with level structures

Let NN be the level parameter, let α\alpha be the invariant defining the modular polynomials with level structures, and let J1J_1 be the corresponding polynomial. For a polynomial F(X,Y)=∑i,jci,jXiYj∈Z[X,Y]F(X,Y)=\sum_{i,j}c_{i,j}X^iY^j\in\mathbb{Z}[X,Y], define its logarithmic height by

h(F)=max⁡i,jlog⁡∣ci,j∣,h(F)=\max_{i,j}\log|c_{i,j}|,

with log⁡0=0\log 0=0. Let Bℓ=6ℓlog⁡ℓ+16ℓ+min⁡{2ℓ,14ℓlog⁡ℓ}B_\ell=6\ell\log\ell+16\ell+\min\{2\ell,14\sqrt{\ell}\log\ell\} be the stated upper bound for the height of the classical modular polynomial Φℓ\Phi_\ell, and let Φℓα\Phi_\ell^{\alpha} denote the corresponding modular polynomial with level structure. Height bound conjecture. There exists a bound LL depending on α\alpha such that, for any prime number ℓ>L\ell>L not dividing NN,

h(Φℓα)≤Bℓ/deg⁡(J1).h(\Phi_\ell^{\alpha})\leq B_\ell/\deg(J_1).

This conjecture naturally generalizes a heuristic for classical modular polynomials and is motivated by comparing the logarithmic heights in a resultant identity relating Φℓα\Phi_\ell^{\alpha} to Φℓ\Phi_\ell.
