Given two rational maps φ and ψ on P1 of degree at least two, we study a symmetric, nonnegative real-valued pairing <φ, ψ> which is closely related to the canonical height functions hφ and hψ associated to these maps. Our main results show a strong connection between the value of <φ,ψ> and the canonical heights of points which are small with respect to at least one of the two maps φ and ψ. Several necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the vanishing of <φ, ψ>. We give an explicit upper bound on the difference between the canonical height hψ and the standard height hst in terms of <σ, ψ>, where σ(x) = x¹ denotes the squaring map. The pairing <σ, ψ> is computed or approximated for several families of rational maps ψ. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
