Néron–Tate height with respect to a positive divisor

53 Views Asked by At

In section 3 of the paper Canonical heights on varieties with morphisms, page 180 after equation (26), the writers say: “The height function with respect to a positive divisor is bounded below off of the support of the divisor, and for an ample divisor is everywhere bounded below.”

I don’t see why it’s true. Are there any references for this claim?

Thanks in advance.
