In particular, as consequence this theorem, we obtain a simple formula for the asymptotic behavior of the archimedean height of a flat family of algebraic cycles which depends only on the weight filtration and local monodromy.57 pages, amstexAlgebraic Geometry14D07, 14C30, 14G40SL_2-orbits and degenerations of mixed Hodge structuretext
