It follows from a result of Call and Silverman that the canonical height associated to the family f, evaluated along a section, differs from a Weil height on the base by little-o of a Weil height. In the case where f is a family with an invariant hyperplane, whose restriction to this invariant hyperplane is isotrivial, we improve this by showing that the canonical height along a section differs from a Weil height on the base by a bounded amount.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-08-22T20:12:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37P30" ], "keywords": [ "canonical height", "weil height", "polynomials", "invariant hyperplane", "number field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1408.5416I" } } }
