Abstract

Let NN be an odd and squarefree positive integer divisible by at least two relative prime integers bigger or equal than 4. Our main theorem is an asymptotic formula solely in terms of NN for the stable arithmetic self-intersection number of the relative dualizing sheaf for modular curves X1(N)/QX_1(N)/ \mathbb{Q}. From our main theorem we obtain an asymptotic formula for the stable Faltings height of the Jacobian J1(N)/QJ_1(N) / \mathbb{Q} of X1(N)/QX_1(N)/ \mathbb{Q}, and, for sufficiently large N, an effective version of Bogomolov's conjecture for X1(N)/QX_1(N) / \mathbb{Q}.
