[ Abstract ]
Given an elliptic curve over Q the only well-understood construction of global points is that of "Heegner points", which are defined over ring class fields of imaginary quadratic fields and are non-torsion only in rank one settings. I will present some new constructions and explicit formulae, in situations of rank one and two, of global points over ring class fields of real or imaginary quadratic fields, cyclotomic fields, and extensions of Q with Galois group A_4, S_4 or A_5. Our constructions and formulae are proven in certain cases - when they can be related to Heegner points - and conjectural, but supported by experimental evidence, otherwise. This is joint work with Henri Darmon and Victor Rotger.
