A $p$-adic approach to singular moduli on Shimura curves

Abstract

We define a rational invariant $𝒥_{N} (D_{1}, D_{2})$ associated to singular moduli of discriminants $D_{1}$ and $D_{2}$ on the genus-zero Shimura curves of discriminant $N = 6, 10$ or $22$ . An algorithm is devised to compute this invariant $p$ -adically using the Cerednik–Drinfeld uniformization of Shimura curves, following the approach described in the thesis of I. Negrini (2017). A formula for the factorization of this invariant is proposed, similar to the formula of Gross and Zagier for differences of classical singular moduli.
