Darmon's conjecture on the rationality of Darmon points

About 14 years old · traced to

Let EE be an elliptic curve over Q\mathbb Q and let KK be a real quadratic field satisfying the hypotheses in the construction. Let qq be the pp-adic period of EE, let ΦTate⁡ ⁣:Kp×/qZ→E(Kp)\Phi_{\operatorname{Tate}}\colon K_p^\times/q^{\mathbb Z}\rightarrow E(K_p) be Tate's uniformization map, and for τ∈Hp\tau\in\mathcal{H}_p let JτJ_\tau be the associated multiplicative integral. Define

Pτ=ΦTate⁡(Jτ).P_\tau=\Phi_{\operatorname{Tate}}(J_\tau).

Darmon's conjecture. The local point Pτ=ΦTate⁡(Jτ)P_\tau=\Phi_{\operatorname{Tate}}(J_\tau) belongs to E(Hτ)E(H_\tau), where HτH_\tau is the ring class field associated with the order determined by τ\tau. This is the precise ring-class-field rationality assertion underlying the broader expectation that Darmon points behave like Heegner points. The source gives no resolution, while the paper provides additional computational evidence supporting the conjecture.
