Abstract

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p0p\neq 0. Let GG be a connected reductive group over kk, PGP \subseteq G be a parabolic subgroup and λ:PGm\lambda: P \longrightarrow \mathbb G_m be a strictly anti-dominant character. Let CC be a projective smooth curve over kk with function field K=k(C)K=k(C) and FF be a principal GG-bundle on CC. Then F/PCF/P \longrightarrow C is a flag bundle and Lλ=F×Pkλ\mathcal{L}_\lambda=F \times_P k_\lambda on F/PF/P is a relatively ample line bundle. We compute the height filtration and successive minima of the height function hLλ:X(K)Rh_{\mathcal{L}_\lambda}: X(\overline{K}) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R} over the flag variety X=(F/P)KX=(F/P)_K.
