Abstract

A general specialization map is constructed for higher Chow groups and used to prove a “going-up” theorem for algebraic cycles and their regulators. The results are applied to study the degeneration of the modified diagonal cycle of Gross and Schoen, and of the coordinate symbol on a genus-$2$ curve.
