Bruinier–Yang arithmetic intersection conjecture for Hirzebruch–Zagier divisors

Let FF be a real quadratic field, let K=F(Δ)K=F(\sqrt{\Delta}) be a quartic non-biquadratic CM field, and let M\mathcal M be the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication by OF\mathcal O_F. Let Tm\mathcal T_m be the integral Hirzebruch–Zagier divisor in M\mathcal M, and let CM(K)\mathcal{CM}(K) be the direct image in M\mathcal M of the CM moduli stack. For a CM type Φ\Phi of KK, let K~\tilde K be the reflex field, let F~=Q(D~)\tilde F=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{\tilde D}) be its real quadratic subfield, and write dF~=D~d_{\tilde F}=\tilde D. Define

bm=pbm(p)logp,b_m=\sum_p b_m(p)\log p,

where

bm(p)logp=ppt=n+mD~2DdK~/F~1n<mD~Bt(p),b_m(p)\log p=\sum_{\mathfrak p\mid p}\sum_{\substack{t=\frac{n+m\sqrt{\tilde D}}{2D}\in d_{\tilde K/\tilde F}^{-1}\\ |n|<m\sqrt{\tilde D}}}B_t(\mathfrak p),

and

Bt(p)={0if p is split in K~,(ordptn+1)ρ(tdK~/F~p1)logpif p is not split in K~,B_t(\mathfrak p)=\begin{cases}0&\text{if }\mathfrak p\text{ is split in }\tilde K,\\(\operatorname{ord}_{\mathfrak p}t_n+1)\rho(t d_{\tilde K/\tilde F}\mathfrak p^{-1})\log|\mathfrak p|&\text{if }\mathfrak p\text{ is not split in }\tilde K,\end{cases}

with ρ(a)=#{AOK~:NK~/F~A=a}\rho(\mathfrak a)=\#\{\mathfrak A\subset\mathcal O_{\tilde K}:N_{\tilde K/\tilde F}\mathfrak A=\mathfrak a\}. Bruinier–Yang arithmetic intersection conjecture. The arithmetic intersection number satisfies

Tm.CM(K)=12bm,\mathcal T_m\mathbin{.}\mathcal{CM}(K)=\frac12b_m,

or, equivalently, for every prime pp,

(Tm.CM(K))p=12bm(p).(\mathcal T_m\mathbin{.}\mathcal{CM}(K))_p=\frac12b_m(p).

The formula gives an explicit arithmetic intersection number for properly intersecting Hirzebruch–Zagier divisors and CM cycles on Hilbert modular surfaces. It was first stated by Bruinier and Yang; its resolution is not determined by the supplied source context.
