Abstract
The values of the elliptic modular $j$-invariant at imaginary quadratic arguments are algebraic integers, known as singular moduli of level one. If $d_1$ and $d_2$ are imaginary quadratic discriminants, then we may consider a generalized resultant of the class polynomials of the orders of discriminant $d_1$ and $d_2$; this is the norm of the differences of singular moduli of the corresponding orders, denoted here by $J(d_1,d_2)$. These resultants are highly factorizable; Gross-Zagier established a closed formula for $J(d_1,d_2)^2$ when $d_1$ and $d_2$ are fundamental discriminants, with $(d_1,d_2)=1$. In this paper we present a conjectural extension of the Gross-Zagier formula to the case when $d_1$ and $d_2$ are not necessarily fundamental, and $(d_1,d_2)=l^e$, where 1 is a prime not dividing the product of the conductors of $d_1$ and $d_2$.
