The Gross-Zagier formula on singular moduli for Shimura curves

arXiv:2509.11553

summary

The paper extends the Gross‑Zagier formula for singular moduli—originally describing intersection multiplicities of CM divisors on modular curves—to the setting of Shimura curves.

Abstract

The Gross-Zagier formula on singular moduli can be seen as a calculation of the intersection multiplicity of two CM divisors on the integral model of a modular curve. We prove a generalization of this result to a Shimura curve.

Corrections made; additional details added in many proofs
