Abstract

The main result of this text is a generalization of Perrin-Riou's p-adic Gross-Zagier formula to the case of Shimura curves over totally real fields. Let FF be a totally real field. Let ff be a Hilbert modular form over FF of parallel weight 22, which is a new form and is ordinary at pp. Let EE be a totally imaginary quadratic extension of FF of discriminant prime to pp and to the conductor of ff. We may construct a pp-adic LL function that interpolates special values of the complex LL functions associated to ff, EE and finite order Hecke characters of EE. The pp-adic Gross-Zagier formula relates the central derivative of this pp-adic LL function to the pp-adic height of a Heegner divisor on a certain Shimura curve. The strategy of the proof is close to that of the original work of Perrin-Riou. In the analytic part, we construct the analytic kernel via adelic computations; in the geometric part, we decompose the geometric kernel into two parts: places outside pp and places dividing pp. For places outside pp, the pp-adic heights are essentially intersection numbers and are computed in works of S. Zhang, and it turns out that this part is closely related to the analytic kernel. For places dividing pp, we use the method in the work of J. Nekov\'a\v{r} to show that the contribution of this part is zero.
