| Apr 5, 2017 at 6:31 | comment | added | Bombyx mori | Professor, just want to mention a small technicality I read in the proof by Manin. He assumed $h(x,x)$ is discrete on $\Gamma$ because of Cauchy-Schwartz inequality and $\Gamma/n\Gamma$ is finitely generated. I do not really understand his reasoning. I think the descent argument itself does not really need the assumption $h(x,x)$ is discrete. | |
