Heights and moments of abelian varieties
Farbod Shokrieh (University of Washington)
Abstract: We give a formula which, for a principally polarized abelian variety $(A, \lambda)$ over a number field (or a function field), relates the stable Faltings height of $A$ with the N\'eron--Tate height of a symmetric theta divisor on $A$. Our formula involves invariants arising from tropical geometry. We also discuss the case of Jacobians in some detail, where graphs and electrical networks will play a key role. (Based on joint works with Robin de Jong.)
