ℒ-invariants and Shimura curves

Abstract

In earlier work, the second named author described how to extract Darmon-style L-invariants from modular forms on Shimura curves that are special at p. In this paper, we show that these L-invariants are preserved by the Jacquet‐Langlands correspondence. As a consequence, we prove the second named author’s period conjecture in the case where the base field is Q. As a further application of our methods, we use integrals of Hida families to describe Stark‐Heegner points in terms of a certain Abel‐Jacobi map.
