TL;DR
This work delivers a practical framework to evaluate Bianchi rigid meromorphic cocycles at big ATR points, providing the first numerical confirmation of their algebraicity and revealing patterns analogous to Borcherds products at big CM points. By developing the spinor-norm and field-of-definition theory, extending rigid Meromorphic cocycle constructions to multiple cusps, and implementing an overconvergent, p-adic algorithm, the authors compute and certify algebraicity of values at big ATR points for K = ℚ(i). The results extend known evidence from small RM/CM points, demonstrate instances where values lie in nontrivial algebraic extensions of ℚ(i), and reveal BY-like divisibility phenomena in the primes appearing in norms. Overall, the paper strengthens the conjectural reciprocity framework for rigid meromorphic cocycles and provides a robust computational toolkit for exploring their arithmetic at ATR-type special points.
Abstract
We develop the tools required to effectively evaluate the Bianchi rigid meromorphic cocycles introduced by Darmon-Gehrmann-Lipnowski at big ATR points, and use them to obtain the first numerical verification of the conjectured algebraicity of these special values. Moreover, our computations suggest that these special values exhibit behaviour analogous to that of the special values of Borcherds products on Hilbert modular surfaces at big CM points.
