Heegner Points on Cartan non-split Curves

The goal is to construct Heegner Points on elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ in cases where the classical Heegner hypothesis does not hold. Concretely, let $E / \mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N$ , p an odd prime such that $p^2$ divides $N$ exactly, and $K$ an imaginary quadratic field in which $p$ is inert and the other primes dividing the conductor are split. In this case there aren't any Heegner points in the modular curve $X_{0}(N)$ , but since $sign(E/K)=-1$ we still expect to somehow construct "Heegner points". The idea is to consider other modular curves, the so called Cartan non-split curves, whose Jacobian is isogenous to the new part of $J_{0}(p^2)$. In order to compute the Abel-Jacobi map we need to compute the Fourier expansions of newforms associated to Cartan non-split groups. These Fourier expansions have coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(\xi_{p})$ and, under a situable normalization, the coefficients satisify nice properties when congujated by elements of $Gal(\mathbb{Q}(\xi_{p})/ \mathbb{Q})$. This allows us to construct Heegner points for these Cartan groups. We also show many examples of our construction in cases where they generate the Mordell-Weil group, and relate them to the BSD conjecture. This is based on the work done in http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.7801 .
