    $\begingroup$ It is Mordell-Weil group equipped with Néron-Tate pairing (see Silverman's book for the definition of these objects). $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 25, 2010 at 11:26

    $\begingroup$ Almost correct: it's the quotient of the MW group by the torsion group, equipped with the Néron-Tate pairing. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 27, 2012 at 18:53
  • $\begingroup$ Hm, even that's not quite right for a constant curve with non-torsion points... So form the quotient by the subgroup of points of height zero (which contains the torsion group). $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 28, 2012 at 2:54
