A Bogomolov type statement for function fields

Abstract: Let k be a an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, and we let h be the usual Weil height for the n-dimensional affine space corresponding to the function field k(t) (extended to its algebraic closure). We prove that for any affine variety V defined over the algebraic closure of k(t), there exists a positive real number c such that if P is an algebraic point of V and h(P)< c, then P has its coordinates in k.
