Extract

This paper is the sequel to one entitled ‘An Inequality in the Theory of Arithmetic on Algebraic Varieties’ (1). For the definition of the complexity of an algebraic point P—here denoted by C[P]—we refer the reader to that paper, where he will also find a short account of as much of the theory of ‘distributions’ as will be used here. For full details of the latter, the reader should consult A. Weil's article (2). Both this paper and the preceding one are the result of an attempt to generalize and simplify a few of the many fruitful ideas which are embodied in Weil's thesis.
