Summary: Let F be a totally real number field with ring of integers denoted O{F} and let E be an elliptic curve over F of conductor an ideal N of O{F}. Let K be a quadratic extension of F that is not a CM field and let O be an O{F}-order of K such that Disc(O/O{F}) is coprime to N. We show that if the sign of the functional equation of E over K is −1, the discriminant of K is coprime to N, and the part of N divisible by primes that are inert in K is square-free, then one can apply either a construction of Gärtner or a construction of Greenberg to conjecturally associate to O a point on E that we call a Darmon point. This point is initially defined over a transcendental extension of K, but is conjectured to be algebraic and defined over the narrow ring class field extension of K associated to the order O; it comes with an action of the narrow class group of O, and we state a conjectural Shimura reciprocity law for this action.
