Offers a comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series. This title begins with a conceptual formulation of the Gross-Zagier formula in terms of incoherent quaternion algebras and incoherent automorphic representations.
