Abstract

Let XX be a quotient of the modular curve X0(N)X_0(N) whose Jacobian JXJ_X is a simple factor of J0(N)newJ_0(N)^{new} over Q\mathbb{Q}. Let ff be the newform of level NN and weight 2 associated with JXJ_X; assume ff has analytic rank 1. We give analytic methods for determining the rational points of XX using quadratic Chabauty by computing two pp-adic Gross-Zagier formulas for ff. Quadratic Chabauty requires a supply of rational points on the curve or its Jacobian; this new method eliminates this requirement. To achieve this, we give an algorithm to compute the special value of the anticyclotomic pp-adic LL-function of ff constructed by Bertolini, Darmon, and Prasanna, which lies outside of the range of interpolation.
