Hodge classes on self-products of a variety with an automorphism
Let be a curve over a field with a rational point . We define a canonical cycle . Suppose that is a number field and that has semi-stable reduction over the integers of with fiber components non-singular. We construct a regular model of and show that the height pairing is well defined where and are correspondences. The paper ends with a brief discussion of heights and -functions in the case that is a modular curve.
