Canonical key formula for projective abelian schemes

Abstract

In this paper we prove a refined version of the canonical key formula for projective abelian schemes in the sense of Moret-Bailly, we also extend this discussion to the context of Arakelov geometry. Precisely, let π:AS\pi: A\to S be a projective abelian scheme over a locally noetherian scheme SS with unit section e:SAe: S\to A and let LL be a symmetric, rigidified, relatively ample line bundle on AA. Denote by ωA\omega_A the determinant of the sheaf of differentials of π\pi and by dd the rank of the locally free sheaf πL\pi_*L. In this paper, we shall prove the following results: (i). there is an isomorphism {\rm det}(\pi_*L)^{\otimes 24}\cong (e^*\omega_A^\vee)^{\otimes 12d} which is canonical in the sense that it is compatible with arbitrary base-change; (ii). if the generic fibre of SS is separated and smooth, then there exist positive integer mm, canonical metrics on LL and on ωA\omega_A such that there exists an isometry {\rm det}(\pi_*\bar{L})^{\otimes 2m}\cong (e^*\bar{\omega}_A^\vee)^{\otimes md} which is canonical in the sense of (i). Here the constant mm only depends on g,dg,d and is independent of LL.
