Lower bounds for heights on some algebraic dynamical systems (2502.03039v2)

Published 5 Feb 2025 in math.NT

Abstract: Let $v$ be a finite place of a number field $K$ and write $K{nr,v}$ for the maximal field extension of $K$ in which $v$ is unramified. The purpose of this paper is split up into two parts. The first one generalizes a theorem of Pottmeyer: If $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$ with split multiplicative reduction at $v$, then the N\'eron-Tate height of a non-torsion point $P\in E(\bar{K})$ is bounded from below by $C / e_v(P){2 e_v(P)+1}$, where $C>0$ is an absolute constant and $e_v(P)$ is the maximum of all ramification indices $e_w(K(P) \vert K)$ with $w\vert v$. Among other things, we refine this result by showing that given a simple abelian variety $A$ defined over $K$ that is degenerate at $v$, the N\'eron-Tate height of a non-torsion point $P\in A(\bar{K})$ is at least $C / \mathrm{lcm}{w\vert v} {e_w(K(P)\vert K)}2$, where $C>0$ is an absolute constant. We then give applications towards Lehmer's conjecture. Next, we provide the first examples of polynomials $\phi\in K[X]$ of degree at least $2$ so that the canonical height $\hat{h}\phi$ of any point in $\bbP1(K{nr,v})$ is either $0$ or bounded from below by an absolute positive constant.
