Extreme values of central L-derivatives and heights of Heegner points
Abstract
Using Soundararajan's resonance method, we obtain extreme values of the central derivatives L(r)(1/2,f⊗χd), where f is a normalized newform and χd ranges over primitive real characters associated with negative fundamental discriminants. The twisted first moment estimate used in the proof may be of independent interest. Applying Gross--Zagier-type formulas, we obtain correspondingly large Néron--Tate heights of Heegner points on elliptic curves and large absolute values of Beilinson--Bloch heights of Heegner cycles attached to modular forms.
