Abstract

Assuming Vojta’s conjecture, and building on recent work of the authors, we prove that, for a fixed number field $K$ and a positive integer $g$ , there is an integer $m_{0}$ such that for any $m>m_{0}$ there is no principally polarized abelian variety $A/K$ of dimension $g$ with full level- $m$ structure. To this end, we develop a version of Vojta’s conjecture for Deligne–Mumford stacks, which we deduce from Vojta’s conjecture for schemes.
