Heights and Arakelov’s intersection theory. (English) Zbl 0593.14004

In this article the author relates the Néron-Tate height on Jacobian varieties to Arakelov intersection theory on arithmetic surfaces. The Arakelov intersection pairing is shown to be a Néron pairing. The connection between intersection multiplicities and Néron functions is developed. Finally, an analog of the Hodge index theorem for arithmetic surfaces is proved using the above results.
