Gross–Zagier algebraicity conjecture for higher Green's functions at CM points

About 7 years old · traced to

Let d1d_1 and d2d_2 be discriminants such that one of them is fundamental when kk is even. For any CM points z1z_1 and z2z_2 of discriminants d1d_1 and d2d_2, let HH be the composite of the ring class fields H1H_1 and H2H_2 over \mathdsQ(d1)\mathds Q(\sqrt{d_1}) and \mathdsQ(d2)\mathds Q(\sqrt{d_2}) corresponding to z1z_1 and z2z_2, respectively. Let E=\mathdsQ(d1,d2)E=\mathds Q(\sqrt{d_1},\sqrt{d_2}). Gross–Zagier's algebraicity conjecture. There exists κ\kappa in N\mathbb N and α\alpha in HH, depending only on d1,d2,kd_1,d_2,k and ff, such that

(d1d2)(k−1)/2Gkf(z1,z2)=1κlog⁡∣α∣.(d_1d_2)^{(k-1)/2}G^f_k(z_1,z_2)=\frac{1}{\kappa}\log|\alpha|.

Moreover, for any σ∈Gal⁡(H/E)\sigma\in\operatorname{Gal}(H/E),

σ(α(z1,z2))=α(σ(z1),σ(z2)).\sigma(\alpha(z_1,z_2))=\alpha(\sigma(z_1),\sigma(z_2)).

The conjecture is now a theorem of Li, with earlier conditional and related results by Gross, Kohnen and Zagier, Zhang, Mellit, Viazovska, Zhou, and Bruinier–Ehlen–Yang.
