Small-height equidistribution conjecture for Drinfeld modules

About 21 years old · traced to

Let ϕ:A→K{τ}\phi:A\rightarrow K\{\tau\} be a Drinfeld module of generic characteristic, let g≥1g\geq 1, and let {xk}⊂Gag(Ksep⁡)\{x_k\}\subset\mathbb{G}_a^g(K^{\operatorname{sep}}) be a strict sequence. Assume End⁡Ksep⁡(ϕ)=A\operatorname{End}_{K^{\operatorname{sep}}}(\phi)=A. If

lim⁡k→∞h^⁡(xk)=0,\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}\operatorname{\widehat{h}}(x_k)=0,

then the small-height equidistribution conjecture asserts that

δ‾⁡xk→w⁡ν(g).\operatorname{\overline{\delta}}_{x_k}\operatorname{\stackrel{\emph{w}}{\rightarrow}}\nu^{(g)}.

This generalizes the torsion equidistribution conjecture, since torsion points have height zero. Such an equidistribution theorem would imply the corresponding Bogomolov conjecture for Drinfeld modules; the paper does not establish it.
