Height pairings of 1-motives

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to generalize, in the context of 1-motives, the $p$-adic height pairings constructed by B. Mazur and J. Tate on abelian varieties. Following their approach, we define a global pairing between the rational points of a 1-motive and its dual. We also provide a local pairing between disjoint zero-cycles of degree zero on a curve, which is done by considering the Picard and Albanese 1-motives associated to the curve.
