Beilinson's Arakelov height-pairing conjecture for arithmetic varieties

About 30 years old · traced to

Let RR be a regular arithmetic ring, let B0B_0 be a regular integral scheme flat and of finite type over RR, and let X0X_0 be a smooth projective integral variety of dimension dd over the function field K0K_0 of B0B_0. Let Pic^(B0)\widehat{\rm Pic}(B_0) be the group of hermitian line bundles, and let CH^homp(X0)Q\widehat{\rm CH}^p_{\rm hom}(X_0)_{\bf Q} denote the homologically trivial codimension-pp cycles with rational coefficients. Arakelov height-pairing conjecture. If p+q=d+1p+q=d+1, there exists a pairing

h:CH⁡homp(X0)Q⊗CH⁡homq(X0)Q→Pic⁡^(B0)Qh:\operatorname{CH}^p_{\rm hom}(X_0)_{\bf Q}\otimes \operatorname{CH}^q_{\rm hom}(X_0)_{\bf Q}\to \widehat{\operatorname{Pic}}(B_0)_{\bf Q}

with the following properties: in the number-field case over Spec⁡R\operatorname{Spec}R, its arithmetic degree is Beilinson's conjectural height pairing; when Bk0B_{k_0} is geometrically integral, its image under the forgetful base-change map agrees with the pairing of the motivic-origin conjecture; and, if B0B_0 is projective, the resulting real-valued pairing is expected to be non-degenerate after composition with the arithmetic degree map associated with an ample hermitian line bundle. The source presents this as a conjectural Arakelovian counterpart; existence and the stated compatibility and non-degeneracy properties are not established in general.
