Abstract
We show that the sectional capacity of an adelic subset of a projective variety over a number field is a quasi-canonical limit of arithmetic top self-intersection numbers, and we establish the functorial properties of extremal plurisubharmonic Green's functions. We also present a conjecture that the sectional capacity should be a top selfintersection number in an appropriate adelic arithmetic intersection theory.
