Abstract

We construct a natural family of rational functions Ψ~m\tilde\Psi_m on a Hilbert modular surface from the classical jj-invariant and its Hecke translates. These functions are obtained by means of a multiplicative analogue of the Doi-Naganuma lifting and can be viewed as twisted Borcherds products. We then study when the value of Ψ~m\tilde\Psi_m at a CM point associated to a non-biquadratic quartic CM field generates the `CM class field' of the reflex field. For the real quadratic field \Q(5)\Q(\sqrt{5}), we factorize the norm of some of these CM values to \Q(5)\Q(\sqrt 5) numerically.
