A quaternionic construction of p-adic singular moduli
Rigid meromorphic cocycles were introduced by Darmon and Vonk as a conjectural $p$-adic extension of the theory of singular moduli to real quadratic base fields. They are certain cohomology classes of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[1 / p])$ which can be evaluated at real quadratic irrationalities, and th...

| Summary: | Rigid meromorphic cocycles were introduced by Darmon and Vonk as a conjectural $p$-adic extension of the theory of singular moduli to real quadratic base fields. They are certain cohomology classes of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[1 / p])$ which can be evaluated at real quadratic irrationalities, and the values thus obtained are conjectured to lie in algebraic extensions of the base field. In this article, we present a construction of cohomology classes inspired by that of DarmonVonk, in which $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[1 / p])$ is replaced by an order in an indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field $F$. These quaternionic cohomology classes can be evaluated at elements in almost totally complex extensions $K$ of $F$, and we conjecture that the corresponding values lie in algebraic extensions of $K$. We also report on extensive numerical evidence for this algebraicity conjecture. |
