Reference on Heegner points

109 Views Asked by At

I am a senior undergraduate. I have learned something about elliptic curves (GTM97, GTM106, and the first few chapters of GTM151), modular forms (GTM228, Shimura's arithmetic theory of automorphic functions) and class field theory (Neukirch's books). I hope that I can write something about Heegner points as my undergraduate thesis, but my advisor seems to think that my level is not high enough to learn such things. However, I still want to learn something about Heegner points. So can someone recommend me some books or notes about Heegner points, please? Thanks in advance. By the way, I don’t know anything about p-adic uniformization. Are there any books or notes that I can read if I want to learn about this?
