Abstract
Motivated by a result of Bost, we use the relationship between Faltings' heights of abelian varieties with complex multiplication and logarithmic derivatives of Artin L-functions at s=0 to investigate these heights. In particular, we prove that the height of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by Q√-d is bounded from below by an effective affine function of log d.
