Abstract

We prove a pp-adic version of the work by Gross and Zagier on the differences between singular moduli by proving a set of conjectures by Giampietro and Darmon, who investigated the factorisation of a rational invariant associated to a pair of CM-points on a genus zero Shimura curve, obtained as the ratio of the CM-values of pp-adic Θ\Theta-functions. As did Gross and Zagier, we give two proofs; an algebraic proof using CM-theory, and more interestingly, also an analytic proof using pp-adic infinitesimal deformations of Hilbert Eisenstein series. Since there are no explicit formulae for its cuspidal pp-adic deformations, we instead compute the Frobenius traces of the appropriate Galois deformation, and show their modularity via an R=TR = T theorem. This approach aims to bridge the gap between classical CM-theory and the more recent pp-adic advances in the theory of real multiplication.
