Height Pairing on Higher Cycles and Mixed Hodge Structures II

Abstract: We define two versions of the archimedean height pairing between certain Bloch higher cycles. Both pairings generalize the archimedean height pairing between ordinary cycles. To do this, we introduce the notion of framed mixed Hodge structures and define two heights of a framed mixed Hodge structure. Moreover, we show that, with a pair of properly intersecting refined higher cycles in complementary codimension, we can associate a framed mixed Hodge structure. As an interesting example, we compute both heights for the complex polylogarithm variation of mixed Hodge structures and show that each of them gives rise to a well known version of the single valued polylogarithm function.
