Gross–Zagier conjecture on the index of a Heegner point

About 3 years old · traced to

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve of conductor NN, let L/QL/\mathbb{Q} be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying the Heegner hypothesis, and let PL∈EL(L)P_L\in E_L(L) be the associated Heegner point. Let mm be the Manin constant of E/QE/\mathbb{Q}, let c(E/Q)c(E/\mathbb{Q}) be the product of the Tamagawa numbers, let 2uL2u_L be the number of roots of unity in LL, and let \Sha(EL/L)\Sha(E_L/L) denote the Tate–Shafarevich group.

Gross–Zagier conjecture. If PLP_L has infinite order in EL(L)E_L(L), then PLP_L generates a subgroup of finite index in EL(L)E_L(L), and this index equals

c(E/\mathbb{Q)\cdot m\cdot u_L\cdot\sqrt{|\Sha(E_L/L)|}.

This conjecture predicts an explicit formula for the Mordell–Weil index of a Heegner point in terms of local Tamagawa factors, the Manin constant, and the Tate–Shafarevich group. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
