The height comparison conjecture for primitive fibers

About 29 years old · traced to

Let YY be the base of the L{\cal L}-primitive fibration in the source, let U⊂YU\subset Y be a dense Zariski open subset, and let VyV_y be the corresponding L{\cal L}-primitive fiber for y∈Y(F)∩Uy\in Y(F)\cap U. Let F{\cal F} be a metrized Q{\bf Q}-invertible sheaf associated with the Q{\bf Q}-Cartier divisor L1−1⊗KYL_1^{-1}\otimes K_Y, where L1L_1 is the tautological ample Q{\bf Q}-Cartier divisor on YY defined by the graded ring R(V,L){\rm R}(V, {\cal L}).

Height comparison conjecture. There exist a family of vv-adic metrics on KYK_Y and constants c2>c1>0c_2>c_1>0 such that

c1HF(y)≤τL(Vy)≤c2HF(y)∀y∈Y(F)∩U.c_1H_{\cal F}(y)\leq\tau_{\cal L}(V_y)\leq c_2H_{\cal F}(y)\qquad\forall y\in Y(F)\cap U.

This conjecture proposes that the adelic Tamagawa quantity of a primitive fiber is comparable to a height on the base, supporting the predicted counting asymptotics. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
