In this paper, we prove the convergence of the integrands. We derive this from results describing the asymptotic behaviour of the height pairing between degree-zero divisors, as a family of curves degenerates. These are obtained by means of the nilpotent orbit theorem in Hodge theory.

We prove an alternating variant of this conjecture for smooth projective varieties acted upon by an automorphism of finite order, thus improving previous results of Maillot and Rössler. The proof relies on a product formula for periods of regular singular connections due to Saito and Terasoma.

Here we give a proof of this conjecture for a class of elliptic spaces known as hyperelliptic.
