Abstract

Let pp be a prime number, and let Δ1,Δ2<0\Delta_1,\Delta_2 < 0 be two coprime fundamental discriminants. When pp splits in Q(Δ1)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta_1}) and Q(Δ2)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta_2}) the height pairings of the corresponding CM divisors on Xspl+(p)X_{\mathrm{spl}}^+(p) were determined by Gross--Kohnen--Zagier [GKZ87]. When pp is inert, we determine the arithmetic intersection numbers of the corresponding divisors on Xns+(p)X_{\mathrm{ns}}^+(p) at all finite primes. The key point of our analysis is at the prime of bad reduction pp: to determine the intersection numbers at pp, we provide a moduli interpretation for the smooth locus in the regular model of Xns+(p)X_{\mathrm{ns}}^+(p) over Spec(Z)\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}) constructed by Edixhoven--Parent [EP24].
