We show that, assuming Vojta's height conjecture, the height of a rational point on an algebraically hyperbolic variety can be bounded "uniformly" in families. This generalizes a result of Su-Ion Ih for curves of genus at least two to higher-dimensional varieties. As an application, we show that, assuming Vojta's height conjecture, the height of a rational point on a curve of general type is uniformly bounded. Finally, we prove a similar result for smooth hyperbolic surfaces with $c_1^2 > c_2$.

Uniformity for integral points on surfaces, positivity of log cotangent sheaves and hyperbolicity
We show that all subvarieties of a quasi-projective variety with positive log cotangent bundle are of log general type. In addition, we show that smooth quasi-projective varieties with positive and…
Hyperbolicity and Uniformity of Varieties of Log General type
Projective varieties with ample cotangent bundle satisfy many notions of hyperbolicity, and one goal of this paper is to discuss generalizations to quasi-projective varieties. A major hurdle is…

We recall the main result of L. Caporaso, J. Harris, and B. Mazur's 1997 paper of ‘Uniformity of rational points.’ It says that the Lang conjecture on the distribution of rational points on varieties…
Height uniformity for integral points on elliptic curves
We recall the result of D. Abramovich and its generalization by P. Pacelli on the uniformity for stably integral points on elliptic curves. It says that the Lang-Vojta conjecture on the distribution…
Lang's Conjectures, Fibered Powers, and Uniformity
We prove that the fibered power conjecture of Caporaso et al. (Con- jecture H, (CHM), §6) together with Lang's conjecture implies the uniformity of rational points on varieties of general type, as…
Correlation for surfaces of general type
The main geometric result of this paper is that given any family of surfaces of general type f:X-->B, for sufficiently large n the fiber product X^n_B dominates a variety of general type. This result…
Theta height and Faltings height
Using original ideas from J.-B. Bost and S. David, we provide an explicit comparison between the Theta height and the stable Faltings height of a principally polarized abelian variety. We also give…

Level structures on abelian varieties and Vojta’s conjecture
Assuming Vojta’s conjecture, and building on recent work of the authors, we prove that, for a fixed number field $K$ and a positive integer $g$ , there is an integer $m_{0}$ such that for any…
