Abstract

For an elliptic curve EE over Q\mathbb{Q} satisfying suitable hypotheses, Bertolini and Darmon have derived a formula for the Heegner point on EE in terms of the central derivative of the two variable pp-adic LL-function associated to EE. In this paper, we generalize their work to the setting of totally real fields in which pp is inert. We also use this generalization to improve the results obtained by Bertolini–Darmon in the case of an elliptic curve defined over the field of rational numbers.
