摘要

Let X be a projective variety over a number field K endowed with a height function associated to an ample line bundle on X. Given an algebraic extension F of K with a sufficiently big Northcott number, we can show that there are finitely many cycles in \(X_{\bar{\mathbb {Q}}}\) X Q ¯ of bounded degree and small height defined over F. Fields F with the required properties were explicitly constructed in [18] and [16], motivating our investigation. We point out explicit specializations to canonical heights associated to abelian varieties and selfmaps of \(\mathbb {P}^n\) P n . We apply similar methods to the study of CM-points. As a crucial tool, we introduce a refinement of Northcott’s theorem.
