Effective Mordell for curves with enough automorphisms

We prove a completely explicit and effective upper bound for the N\'eron--Tate height of rational points of curves of genus at least $2$ over number fields, provided that they have enough automorphisms with respect to the Mordell--Weil rank of their jacobian. Our arguments build on Arakelov theory for arithmetic surfaces. Our bounds are practical, and we illustrate this by explicitly computing the rational points of a certain genus $2$ curve whose jacobian has Mordell--Weil rank $2$.
