Elementary Matrix Decomposition and The Computation of Darmon Points with Higher Conductor

Number Theory 2012-09-21 v1

Abstract

We extend the algorithm of Darmon-Green and Darmon-Pollack for computing p-adic Darmon points on elliptic curves to the case of composite conductor. We also extend the algorithm of Darmon-Logan for computing ATR Darmon points to treat curves of nontrivial conductor. Both cases involve an algorithmic decomposition into elementary matrices in congruence subgroups {\Gamma}(N) for ideals N in certain rings of S-integers. We use these extensions to provide additional evidence in support of the conjectures on the rationality of Darmon points.
