Let C be a non-singular projective curve, and let A — > C be a (flat) family of abelian varieties, all defmed over a global field K. There are three natural height functions associated to such a family, namely a Weil height hc on C(AT), a canonical height hAti on the generic fiber An(K(C}\ and for each point teC(K) for which the special fiber At is non-singular, a canonical height hAt on At(K). Extending ideas of Dem'janenko and Manin ([2], [10]), we prove the following theorem comparing these…

Given an elliptic curve E over a function field K=Q(T_1,...,T_n), we study the behavior of the canonical height ^h_(E_w) of the specialized elliptic curve E_w with respect to the height of w in Q^n.
