A Note on Manin's Theorem of the Kernel
In 1963 Manin proved the analogue of the Mordell conjecture for function fields over \(\mathbb{C}\). A key step in the proof is his ``theorem of the kernel, which states that given an abelian scheme \(A/S\), the kernel of the map \(A(S)\to \operatorname{Ext}^ 1(H^ 1_{\text{DR}}(A/S),\Gamma(S,\mathcal O_ S))\) consists of exactly the constant sections. Recently, however, \textit{R. F. Coleman} [Enseign. Math., II. Sér. 36, No. 3/4, 393-427 (1990; Zbl 0729.14018)] found an error in that part of Manin's proof of the theorem of the kernel, invalidating his proof of the Mordell conjecture. Coleman succeeded in proving a weaker version of the theorem of the kernel, however, which sufficed for Manin's proof. In the paper under review, the author proves the original theorem of the kernel, using work of Deligne on differential equations with regular singularities and on Hodge theory. A rendition of the author's proof also appears in an appendix of Coleman's paper.
