| Feb 23, 2011 at 1:25 | comment | added | Chris Wuthrich | If the analytic rank of an elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$ is 1 then the height of the Heegner point is a period by Gross-Zagier, I believe. But I don't think anything like this is known for higher rank. But that is completely different from your question... | |
| Feb 22, 2011 at 23:29 | comment | added | SGP | Good point! My specific interest is: Is the canonical height a period or not(say as defined in Kontsevich-Zagier)? | |
| Feb 22, 2011 at 22:49 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | Why do you want to know? E.g., why is this any different than asking whether any old real number defined as a limit is transcendental? | |
