Abstract
In recent work, Darmon, Pozzi and Vonk explicitly construct a modular form whose spectral coefficients are -adic logarithms of Gross-Stark units and Stark-Heegner points. Here we describe how this construction gives rise to a practical algorithm for explicitly computing these logarithms to specified precision, and how to recover the exact values of the Gross-Stark units and Stark-Heegner points from them. Key tools are overconvergent modular forms, reduction theory of quadratic forms and Newton polygons. As an application, we tabulate Brumer-Stark units in narrow Hilbert class fields of real quadratic fields with discriminants up to , for primes less than , as well as Stark-Heegner points on elliptic curves.
