Abstract

We study the Beilinson-Bloch heights of Ceresa and Gross-Schoen cycles in families. We construct that for any g3g\ge 3, a Zariski open dense subset Mgamp\mathcal{M}_g^{\mathrm{amp}} of Mg\mathcal{M}_g, the coarse moduli of curves of genus gg over Q\mathbb{Q}, such that the heights of Ceresa cycles and Gross-Schoen cycles over Mgamp\mathcal{M}_g^{\mathrm{amp}} have a lower bound and satisfy the Northcott property.
