Abstract

We use the weighted moduli height as defined in \cite{sh-h} to investigate the distribution of fine moduli points in the moduli space of genus two curves. We show that for any genus two curve with equation y2=f(x)y^2=f(x), its weighted moduli height h(p)23357H(f)\mathfrak h (\mathfrak{p}) \leq 2^3 \sqrt{3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7} \, \cdot H(f), where H(f)H(f) is the minimal naive height of the curve as defined in \cite{height}. Based on the weighted moduli height h\mathfrak h we create a database of genus two curves defined over Q\mathbb Q with small h\mathfrak h and show that for small such height (h<5\mathfrak h < 5) about 30% of points are fine moduli points.
