Re: question on the use of Weber's Functions


To all

Yes, I have the original copy of Andre's GP-Pari script, from the mid-1990's or so and one of his routines is called mockheegner() so at least he knew about it from Paul Monsky.

I think he and Paul tossed the term around. See https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Computation-of-mock-heegner-points-on-modular-Robatino-Stevens/d7391300ebfe1b65c2876489f1d2bf64ad5d01a5 so he used the term back in 1995-1996.

which has a 1996 publish date. I believe his GP-Pari code was done in 1995 or so.

Do you really mean "mock" Heegner points, Randall?  I don't think that they had been invented in the 1990s.  (They use p-adic methods developed by Marc NMasdeu and others, and are only conjectural.)
