For , we establish Lang’s conjecture on a lower bound for the canonical height of nontorsion points along with upper and lower bounds for the difference between the canonical and logarithmic heights. These results are either best possible or within a small constant of the best possible lower bounds.
Nous généralisons en dimension supérieure un théorème d’Amoroso et Zannier concernant le problème de Lehmer relatif. Nous minorons la hauteur d’un point d’un tore en fonction de son indice d’obstruction sur , l’extension abélienne maximale de , à condition qu’il ne soit pas contenu dans une sous-variété de torsion de petit degré. Nous en déduisons une minoration du minimum essentiel d’une sous-variété non contenue dans un sous-groupe algébrique propre en fonction de son indice d’obstruction sur...
A number of authors have proven explicit versions of Lehmer’s conjecture for polynomials whose coefficients are all congruent to modulo . We prove a similar result for polynomials that are divisible in by a polynomial of the form for some . We also formulate and prove an analogous statement for elliptic curves.
Classical results of Weil, Néron and Tate are generalized to local heights of subvarieties with respect to hermitian pseudo-divisors. The local heights are well-defined if the intersection of supports is empty. In the archimedean case, the metrics are hermitian and the local heights are defined by a refined version of the -product of Gillet-Soulé developped on compact varieties without assuming regularity. In the non-archimedean case, the local heights are intersection numbers using methods from...
