Tame Triple Product Periods

A recent conjecture proposed by Harris and Venkatesh relates the action of derived Hecke operators on the space of weight one modular forms to certain Stark units. In this talk, I will explain how this can be rephrased as a conjecture about "tame" analogues of triple product periods for a triple of mod p eigenforms of weights (2,1,1). I will then present an elliptic counterpart to this conjecture relating a tame triple product period to a regulator for global points of elliptic curves in rank 2. This conjecture can be proved in some special cases for CM weight 1 forms, with techniques resonating with the so-called Jochnowitz congruences. This is joint work in preparation with Henri Darmon.
