Heights via anabelian geometry and local Bloch-Kato Selmer sets by Betts, L

“…<p>We study the problem of describing local components of height functions on abelian varieties over characteristic 0 local fields as functions on spaces of torsors under various realisations of a 2-step unipotent motivic fundamental group naturally associated to the defining line bundle. To this end, we present three main theorems giving such a description in terms of the Q_l and Q_p-pro-unipotent etale realisations when the base field is p-adic, and in terms of the R-pro-unipotent Betti–de Rham realisation when the base field is archimedean.…”
