We consider the problem of explicitly computing Beilinson--Bloch heights of homologically trivial cycles on varieties defined over number fields. Recent results have established a congruence, up to the rational span of logarithms of primes,…

For a smooth, projective complex variety, we introduce several mixed Hodge structures associated to higher algebraic cycles. Most notably, we introduce a mixed Hodge structure for a pair of higher cycles which are in the refined normalized…

We attach a mixed Hodge structure and associate two versions of heights to a pair of Bloch higher cycles. Both these heights generalize the biextension height attached to a pair of classical algebraic cycles homologous to zero. We also…

It was shown by Faltings and Hriljac that the N\'eron-Tate height of a point on the Jacobian of a curve can be expressed as the self-intersection of a corresponding divisor on a regular model of the curve. We make this explicit and use it…

We give an overview of some landmark theorems and recent conjectures in Diophantine Geometry. In the elliptic case, we prove some new bounds for torsion anomalous points and we clarify the implications of several height bounds on the…

For the product $X=C\times S$ of a curve and a surface over a number field, we construct unconditionally a Beilinson--Bloch type height pairing for homologically trivial algebraic cycles on $X$. Then for an embedding $f: C\to S$, we define…

We establish an explicit lower bound for the N\'eron-Tate height on elliptic curves with complex multiplication, for nontorsion points defined over the maximal abelian extension of a number field. Building on a strategy developed by…

First constructed by Beilinson for curves defined over an algebraically closed field; R\"ossler and Szamuely generalized Beilinson's height pairing to the higher dimensional setting. In this paper we study this pairing and relate it to the…

We introduce filtrations in chiral homology complexes of smooth elliptic curves, exploiting the mixed Hodge structure on cohomology groups of configuration spaces. We use these to relate the chiral homology of a smooth elliptic curve with…

For a one-parameter variation of biextension mixed Hodge structures, Brosnan and Pearlstein showed that the limit of the asymptotic height of the variation is given by a certain limit height of the nilpotent orbit. This limit height depends…

In the first section of his seminal paper on height pairings, Beilinson constructed an $\ell$-adic height pairing for rational Chow groups of homologically trivial cycles of complementary codimension on smooth projective varieties over the…

We define various height functions for motives over number fields. We compare these height functions with classical height functions on algebraic varieties, and also with analogous height functions for variations of Hodge structures on…

We describe a general algorithm for computing intersection pairings on arithmetic surfaces. We have implemented our algorithm for curves over $\mathbb Q$, and we show how to use it to compute regulators for a number of Jacobians of smooth…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ with fixed non-archimedean absolute value $v$ of split-multiplicative reduction, and let $f$ be an associated Latt\`es map. Baker proved in 2003 that the N\'eron-Tate height on…

In this note we extend the concept height on projective spaces to that of weighted height on weighted projective spaces and show how such a height can be computed. We prove some of the basic properties of the weighted height and show how it…

This paper contains results concerning a conjecture made by Lang and Silverman predicting a lower bound for the canonical height on abelian varieties of dimension 2 over number fields. The method used here is a local height decomposition.…

In this note we obtain effective lower bounds for the canonical heights of non-torsion points on $E(\mathbb{Q})$ by making use of suitable elliptic curve ideal class pairings $$\Psi_{E,-D}: E(\mathbb{Q})\times E_{-D}(\mathbb{Q})\mapsto…

We describe an algorithm to compute the local Coleman-Gross p-adic height at p on a hyperelliptic curve. Previously, this was only possible using an algorithm due to Balakrishnan and Besser, which was limited to odd degree. While we follow…

We consider degenerations of complex projective Calabi--Yau varieties and study the singularities of $L^2$, Quillen and BCOV metrics on Hodge and determinant bundles. The dominant and subdominant terms in the expansions of the metrics close…
