Abstract: A family ft(z) of polynomials over a number field K will be called emph{weighted homogeneous} if and only if ft(z)=F(ze,t) for some binary homogeneous form F(X,Y) and some integer egeq2. For example, the family zd+t is weighted homogeneous. We prove a lower bound on the canonical height, of the form [hat{h}_{f_t}(z)geq epsilon max{h_{mathsf{M}_d}(f_t), log|operatorname{Norm}mathfrak{R}_{f_t}|},] for values zinK which are not preperiodic for ft. Here epsilon depends only on the number of places at which ft has bad reduction. For suitably generic morphisms varphi:mathbbP1omathbbP1, we also prove an absolute bound of this form for t in the image of varphi over K (assuming the abc Conjecture), as well as uniform bounds on the number of preperiodic points (unconditionally).
