The proof basically uses Zhang's admissible pairing on curves, the arithmetic Hodge index theorem for function fields and the metrized graph analogue of Elkie's lower bound for the Green function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-27T18:38:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G30", "11G50" ], "keywords": [ "function field", "uniform manin-mumford-type result", "geometrically connected non-isotrivial curve", "projective geometrically connected non-isotrivial", "arithmetic hodge index theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
