A height function is a function that quantifies the complexity of mathematical objects. In Diophantine geometry, height functions quantify the size of solutions to Diophantine equations and are typically functions from a set of points on algebraic varieties to the real numbers.
For instance, the classical or naive height over the rational numbers is typically defined to be the maximum of the numerators and denominators of the coordinates ], but in a logarithmic scale.
