Abstract
We prove a new Bertini-type Theorem with explicit control of the genus, degree, height, and the field of definition of the constructed curve. As a consequence we provide a general strategy to reduce certain height and rank estimates on abelian varieties over a number field K to the case of jacobian varieties defined over a suitable extension of K.
