Title: Gross–Zagier formula in 40 years
Speaker: Yifeng Liu （Zhejiang University）
Time: 4.16（Thursday），14:30-15:30
Venue：Gewu Building 315
Abstract: In 1986, Gross and Zagier published a landmark article in which they obtained a formula that computes the central derivative of L-function of an elliptic curve in terms of its Heegner point, known as the Gross–Zagier formula. Since then, it has become the most important formula in the study of BSD conjecture and its related mathematics. In this talk, we will review the development around the Gross–Zagier formula in the 40 years since its debut.
