Abstract
Let be a field of characteristic and let be the function field of a geometrically irreducible projective curve over . Let be a -dimensional abelian variety with . We prove that any -rational torsion point of has order uniformly bounded in terms of and the gonality of . We also prove a uniform lower bound on the N\'{e}ron-Tate height in terms of the stable Faltings height for any -rational point whose forward orbit is Zariski dense, proving the Lang-Silverman conjecture over function fields of characteristic .
