Sharp zero estimates for trajectories of polynomial vector fields
Abstract
If f is a tuple of functions satisfying an algebraic ODE and P∈ℂ(x)[f], it is common in applications to transcendental number theory to consider upper bounds for the order of zero of P(x,f) at a given point in terms of degx P,degf P. Nesterenko introduced a condition known as the D-property, which holds in many applications, and proved essentially optimal bounds under this condition. We prove a global form of this result, where the field ℂ(x) is replaced by a number field K and degx P is replaced by the logarithmic height h(P). Under an analogous global D-property, we prove essentially optimal bounds for the number of zeroes, counted with multiplicities, in a fixed compact set. Applications of this result to point-counting theorems are developed in a separate joint paper with Hirata-Kohno and Kawashima.
