Abstract

Yui and Zagier made some fascinating conjectures on the factorization on the norm of the difference of Weber class invariants f(a1)f(a2) f(\mathfrak a_1) - f(\mathfrak a_2) based on their calculation in \cite{YZ}. Here ai\mathfrak a_i belong two diferent ideal classes of discrimants DiD_i in imagainary quadratic fields Q(Di)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D_i}). In \cite{LY}, we proved these conjectures and their generalizations when (D1,D2)=1(D_1, D_2) =1 using the so-called big CM value formula of Borcherds lifting. In this sequel, we prove the conjectures when Q(D1)=Q(D2)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D_1}) =\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D_2}) using the so-called small CM value formula. In addition, we give a precise factorization formula for the resultant of two different Weber class invariant polynomials for distinct orders.
