The Gross-Zagier Formula on Shimura Curves: (Ams-184)

by Wei Zhang, Shou-wu Zhang, Xinyi Yuan

Book Overview

This comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over totally real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series. The formula will have new applications for the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and Diophantine equations.

The book begins with a conceptual formulation of the Gross-Zagier formula in terms of incoherent quaternion algebras and incoherent automorphic...
