Parent event:

Conference "Modular forms are everywhere" [3]

The factorization of differences of singular moduli is described in a landmark 1985 article
of Gross and Zagier bearing the same title. I will describe a project which aims to uncover similar
phenomena in the setting of real quadratic fields. This is joint work with Jan Vonk.
