Abstract

Let XX be an arithmetic variety over the ring of integers of a number field KK, with smooth generic fiber XKX_K. We give a formula that relates the dimension of the first Arakelov-Chow vector space of XX with the Mordell-Weil rank of the Albanese variety of XKX_K and the rank of the N\'eron-Severi group of XKX_K. This is a higher dimensional and arithmetic version of the classical Shioda-Tate formula for elliptic surfaces. Such analogy is strengthened by the fact that we show that the numerically trivial arithmetic R\mathbb{R}-divisors on XX are exactly the linear combinations of principal ones. This result is equivalent to the non-degeneracy of the arithmetic intersection pairing in the argument of divisors, partially confirming [GS94, Conjecture 1].
