Abstract

Let FF be the field of rational functions on a smooth projective curve over a finite field, and let π\pi be an unramified cuspidal automorphic representation for PGL2\mathrm{PGL}_2 over FF. We prove a variant of the formula of Yun and Zhang relating derivatives of the LL-function of π\pi to the self-intersections of Heegner-Drinfeld cycles on moduli spaces of shtukas. In our variant, instead of a self-intersection, we compute the intersection pairing of Heegner-Drinfeld cycles coming from two different quadratic extensions of FF, and relate the intersection to the rr-th derivative of a product of two toric period integrals.
