Abstract: The classical Chevalley-Weil theorem asserts that for an 'etale covering of projective varieties over a number field K, the discriminant of the field of definition of the fiber over a K-rational point is uniformly bounded. We obtain a fully explicit version of this theorem in dimension 1.

Review text

Let \(K\) be a number field and \(\bar{K}\) the algebraic closure of \(K\). Let \(\phi : \tilde{V}\rightarrow V\) be a finite étale covering of normal projective varieties, defined over \(K\). The Chevalley-Weil theorem asserts that there exists an integer \(T> 0\) such that for any \(P\in V(K)\) and \(\tilde{P} \in \tilde{V}(\bar{K})\) with \(\phi(\tilde{P}) = P\), the relative discriminant of \(K(\tilde{P})/K\) divides \(T\). This theorem is useful in diophantine analysis since it provides a reduction of a diophantine problem on the variety \(V\) to that on the variety \(\tilde{V}\) which could be easier. Furthermore, it is used implicitly in the proofs of some finiteness theorems of Mordell-Weil. In this paper, a quantitative version of this theorem in dimension \(1\) is presented which improves and generalizes previous results of the first author [Ph. D. Thesis, Beer Sheva (1993)] and of \textit{K. Draziotis} and \textit{D. Poulakis} [Rocky Mt. J. Math. 39, No. 1, 49--70 (2009; Zbl 1222.14063)] and [Houston J. Math. 38, No. 1, 29--39 (2012; Zbl 1239.14018)]. The method of the proof is different of that of Draziotis and Poulakis and goes back to the first author's thesis.
