Heegner point
In mathematics, a Heegner point is a point on a modular elliptic curve that is the image of an imaginary quadratic irrational point of the upper half-plane. They were defined by Bryan Birch and named after Kurt Heegner, who used similar ideas to prove Gauss's conjecture on imaginary quadratic fields of class number one.
