This height serves as an analogue of both the classical Neron-Tate height and analytic p-adic heights. Our main result is that under some general hypotheses this pairing is non-degenerate.14 pages; final versionNumber TheoryAlgebraic Geometry11G05, 11G07, 11R58, 14G25Canonical heights on elliptic curves in characteristic ptext
