Abstract: A Laurent polynomial in two variables is tempered if its edge polynomials are cyclotomic. Variation of coefficients leads to a family of smooth complete genus g curves carrying a canonical algebraic K_2-class over a g-dimensional base , hence to an extension of admissible variations of MHS (or normal function) on S. We prove that the ℝ-split locus of this extension is finite. Consequently, the torsion locus of the normal function and the A-polynomial locus for the family of curves are also finite.
