Let \(X\) be a compact Kähler \(n\)-dimensional manifold and \(A\), \(B\) complex subvarieties of dimensions \(p,q\) with \(p+q=n-1\). The authors consider the Archimedean height pairing \((A,B)\) when \(A,B\) are allowed to intersect. Moving \(A\) away from \(B\) in a family \(A_t\) (\(t\) varying in a small disk in \(\mathbb C\), \(A_0=A\), \(A_t\cap B=\emptyset\) for \(t\neq 0\), and studying the asymptotic of \((A_t,B)\) for \(t\to 0\). Starting from the formula \((A_t,B)= e\log|t|^2+k+o(1)\) (stated by Bin Wang) where \(e=\int_Mc_m\) is a Chern number, the authors calculate \(k\) as a sum of 3 terms: the first is \(\int_{A\setminus M}G_B\) for a suitable chosen Green's current \(G_B\), the second is \(\int _{M}\log{|T|}^2c_m(TX/TA+TB+\mathbb{C} T)\) where \(T\) is the image in \(TX/TA+TB\) of the vector field, and the third is the integral over \(\mathbb{O}(TA+TB/TB)\) of the Bott-Chern secondary class of a vector bundle exact sequence.
