Holomorphic sections of a holomorphic family of Riemann surfaces induced by a certain Kodaira surface (Q1047766)

Let \(M\) be a two-dimensional complex manifold and \(B\) be a Riemann surface. One assumes that a proper holomorphic mapping \(\pi : M \to B\) satisfies the following two conditions: (i) The Jacobi matrix of \(\pi\) has rank one at every point of \(M\). (ii) The fiber \(S_b = \pi^{-1}(b)\) over each point \(b\) of \(B\) is a closed Riemann surface of genus \(g_0\). One calls such a triple \((M, \pi, B)\) a \textit{holomorphic family of closed Riemann surfaces} of genus \(g_0\) over \(B\). A holomorphic mapping \(s : B \to M\) is said to be a \textit{holomorphic section} of a holomorphic family \((M, \pi, B)\) of Riemann surfaces if \(\pi \circ s\) is the identity mapping on \(B\). Let \(\mathcal{S}\) be the set of all holomorphic sections of \((M, \pi, B)\). Denote by \(\# \mathcal{S}\) the number of all holomorphic sections of \(\mathcal{S}\). Next result is called Mordell conjecture in the functional field case. By \textit{Yu. Manin}, [Am. Math. Soc., Transl., II. Ser. 50, 189--234 (1966); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser.

Sci. 21, 27--46 (1985; Zbl 0583.32061)], one has: Theorem 1.1. The number of all holomorphic sections of \(\mathcal{S}\) is finite. In this paper, the authors consider a holomorphic family of closed Riemann surfaces of genus two which is constructed by \textit{G. Riera} [Duke Math. J. 44, 291--304 (1977; Zbl 0361.32014)]. The goal of this paper is to estimate the number of holomorphic sections of this family.
