Admissible heigh pairings of algebraic cycles

Abstract: For a smooth and projective variety X over a global field of dimension n with an adelic polarization, we propose canonical local and global height pairings for two cycles Y, Z of pure dimension p, q satisfying $p+q=n-1$. We will give some explicit arichmedean local pairings by writing down explicit formula for the diagonal green current for some Shimura varieties.
