The Colmez conjecture, proposed by Colmez, is a conjecture expressing the Faltings height of a CM abelian variety in terms of some linear combination of logarithmic derivatives of Artin L-functions. The aim of this paper to prove an…
In an article published in 1993, P. Colmez formulated a remarkable conjecture, which asserts that the Faltings height of a CM abelian variety can be computed as a linear combination of logarithmic derivatives of Artin $L$-functions. Noting…
Colmez conjectured a formula relating the Faltings height of CM abelian varieties to a certain linear combination of log derivatives of $L$-functions. In this paper, we study the case of unitary CM fields and by studying the class functions…
The Colmez conjecture relates the Faltings height of an abelian variety with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of a CM field $E$ to logarithmic derivatives of certain Artin $L$--functions at $s=0$. In this paper, we prove that…
Let M be the Shimura variety associated with the group of spinor similitudes of a rational quadratic space over of signature (n,2). We prove a conjecture of Bruinier-Kudla-Yang, relating the arithmetic intersection multiplicities of special…
This is an expository article on the averaged version of Colmez's conjecture, relating Faltings heights of CM abelian varieties to Artin L-functions. It is based on the author's lectures at the Current Developments in Mathematics conference…
We give a new proof of a slightly weaker form of a theorem of P. Colmez. This theorem gives a formula for the Faltings height of abelian varieties with complex multiplication by a C.M. field whose Galois group over $\bf Q$ is abelian; it…
We study certain unitary CM fields whose Galois closure has Galois group $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q) \times \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. After investigating the CM types of these fields, we turn towards Colmez's conjectural formula on…
Let $B/F$ be a quaternion algebra over a totally real number field. We give an explicit formula for heights of special points on the quaternionic Shimura variety associated with $B$ in terms of Faltings heights of CM abelian varieties.…
In this work we prove a new Northcott property for the Faltings height. Namely we show, assuming the Colmez Conjecture and the Artin Conjecture, that there are finitely many CM abelian varieties over the complex numbers of a fixed dimension…
Colmez conjectured a product formula for periods of abelian varieties over number fields with complex multiplication and proved it in some cases. His conjecture is equivalent to a formula for the Faltings height of CM abelian varieties in…
Colmez conjectured a product formula for periods of abelian varieties with complex multiplication by a field K, analogous to the standard product formula in algebraic number theory. He proved this conjecture up to a rational power of 2 for…
We survey Colmez's theory and conjecture about the Faltings height and a product formula for the periods of abelian varieties with complex multiplication, along with the function field analog developed by the authors. In this analog,…
We prove that assuming the Colmez conjecture and the ``no Siegel zeros" conjecture, the stable Faltings height of a CM abelian variety over a number field is less than or equal to the logarithm of the root discriminant of the field of…
Recently, R\'emond stated a very general conjecture on lower bounds of a normalized height on either an abelian variety or a power of the multiplicative group. In this note, we extend a particular case of this conjecture to split…
In this paper, we consider some CM fields which we call of dihedral type and compute the Artin $L$-functions associated to all CM types of these CM fields. As a consequence of this calculation, we see that the Colmez conjecture in this case…
We prove two formulas in the style of the Gross-Zagier theorem, relating derivatives of L-functions to arithmetic intersection pairings on a unitary Shimura variety. We also prove a special case of Colmez's conjecture on the Faltings…
The goal of this paper is to prove a formula expressing the modular height of a unitary Shimura variety over a CM number field in terms of the logarithm derivative of the Hecke L-function associated with the CM extension. In a more specific…
We study the Faltings height pairing of arithmetic Heegner divisors and CM cycles on Shimura varieties associated to orthogonal groups. We compute the Archimedian contribution to the height pairing and derive a conjecture relating the total…
We prove an arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel type theorem for semi-positive singular hermitian line bundles of finite height. In particular, the theorem applies to the log-singular metrics of Burgos-Kramer-K\"uhn. Our theorem is thus suitable for…
