Description: Heights: Archimedean and non-Archimedean aspects.

The notion of heights on projective space and smooth projective varieties, are classical and well studied. Beilinson built on it to develop a height pairing on certain class of algebraic cycles. This pairing has two components, the non-Archimedean component, which depends on the integer primes, and the Archimedean component, which depends on the complex primes. I will give a glimpse on both, and discuss a new direction.....probably.
