Abstract
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, C a smooth connected projective curve defined over k, K = k(C) the function field of C. Let Y be a projective K-variety, L a very ample line bundle on Y and psi : Y → Y a K-morphism such that psi* L ≅ L⊗d. We prove that a projective integral C-scheme Y is isotrivial when it is covered by a projective integral k-scheme X := X0 xk C, where X0 is a k-scheme. This result provides a setup for a conjecture of L. Szpiro on parametrization of points of canonical height zero of the dynamical system (Y, L, psi).
