This volume comprises four interrelated articles whose unifying theme is the study of Heegner and Stark-Heegner points and their connections with the \(p\)-adic logarithm of certain global cohomology classes attached to a pair of weight one theta series of a common (imaginary or real) quadratic field. These global classes are obtained from \(p\)-adic deformations of diagonal classes attached to triples of modular forms of weight \(> 1\), and naturally generalize a construction of Kato, which one recovers when the two theta series are replaced by Eisenstein series of weight one.

Understanding the extent to which such classes obtained via the \(p\)-adic interpolation of motivic cohomology classes are themselves motivic is a key motivation for this study. A second is the desire to show that Stark-Heegner points, whose global nature is still poorly understood theoretically, arise from classes in global Galois cohomology.
