He is known for his work in number theory, particularly the Gross-Zagier theorem on L-functions of elliptic curves, which was work with Don Zagier. 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. ... The theory of L-functions has become a very substantial, and still largely conjectural, part of contemporary number theory. ... In mathematics, an elliptic curve is a plane curve defined by an equation of the form y2 = x3 + a x + b, which is non-singular; that is, its graph has no cusps or self-intersections. ...
