The function-field analogue of Vojta's stronger conjecture

Let FF be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let CC be a smooth projective curve over FF, let X\mathcal{X} be a smooth projective variety over FF, and let π:XC\pi:\mathcal{X}\to C be a surjective morphism with connected fibers. Let DD be a normal crossing divisor on X\mathcal{X}, and let SS be a finite set of closed points of CC. For an irreducible curve YY on X\mathcal{X} mapping onto CC, let νY:Y~Y\nu_Y:\widetilde{Y}\to Y be its normalization, and use the source's definitions of NS(1)(D,Y)N_S^{(1)}(D,Y), dC(Y)d_C(Y), and hM(Y)h_{\mathcal{M}}(Y).

Function-field Vojta conjecture. Let A\mathcal{A} be an ample line bundle on X\mathcal{X} and let rr be a positive integer. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there is a proper Zariski-closed subset ZZ of X\mathcal{X} such that, for all cRc\in\mathbb{R},

NS(1)(D,Y)+dC(Y)hK(D)(Y)ϵhA(Y)cN_S^{(1)}(D,Y)+d_C(Y)\geq h_{\mathcal{K}(D)}(Y)-\epsilon h_{\mathcal{A}}(Y)-c

holds for all irreducible curves YY on X\mathcal{X} not contained in ZDZ\cup D with deg((πY)νY)r\deg((\pi|_Y)\circ\nu_Y)\leq r, except for a bounded family of curves on X\mathcal{X}.

This is stated as a function-field analogue of Vojta's stronger conjecture. Its status is not specified in the source.
