Plectic Stark-Heegner points

Abstract

We propose a conjectural construction of global points on modular elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields, generalizing both the p-adic construction of Heegner points via Cerednik-Drinfeld uniformization and the definition of classical Stark-Heegner points. In alignment with Nekovar and Scholl's plectic conjectures, we expect the non-triviality of these plectic Stark-Heegner points to control the Mordell-Weil group of higher rank elliptic curves. We provide some indirect evidence for our conjectures by showing that higher order derivatives of anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions compute plectic invariants.
