چکیده
Let B be the indefinite quaternion algebra over Q of discriminant D. Let O be a maximal order in B. Let XD be the Shimura curve over Q attached to O, whose set of complex points is given by XD(C) = (Ô×\B̂× × P)/B×, where P = C\R. As it is well known, suchXD is equipped with a natural group of involutions called the Atkin-Lehner group W (D), where each involution ωn is indexed by the divisors n | D. Thus the Atkin-Lehner groupW (D) as a subgroup of the group of automorphisms Aut(X0(D,N)) is a 2elementary abelian group isomorphic to (Z/2Z), where r = #{p | D}. The following proposition characterizes Aut(XD) also as a 2-elementary abelian group, in case that the genus is at least 2. Proposition 1.1. [3, Proposition 1.5] Let U ⊆ W (D) be a subgroup and let XD/U denote the quotient curve. If the genus of XD/U is at least 2, then all automorphisms of XD/U are defined over Q and Aut(XD/U) = (Z/2Z) for some s ≥ r − rankF2(U). Remark 1.2. This proposition is also true if we consider Shimura curves with non trivial level.

Automorphisms and Reduction of Heegner Points on Shimura Curves at Cerednik-drinfeld Primes
Let X be a Shimura curve of genus at least 2. Exploiting Čerednik-Drinfeld’s description of the special fiber of X and the specialization of its Heegner points, we show that, under certain technical conditions, the group of automorphisms of X corresponds to its group of Atkin-Lehner involutions.

Let VD be the Shimura curve over Q attached to the indefinite rational quaternion algebra of discriminant D. In this note we investigate the group of automorphisms of VD and prove that, in many cases, it is the Atkin–Lehner group. Moreover, we determine the family of bielliptic Shimura curves ðover Q and over QÞ and we use it to study the set of rational points on VD over quadratic fields. Fina...

We study the group of automorphisms of Shimura curves X0(D,N) attached to an Eichler order of square-free level N in an indefinite rational quaternion algebra of discriminant D > 1. We prove that, when the genus g of the curve is greater than or equal to 2, Aut(X0(D,N)) is a 2-elementary abelian group which contains the group of Atkin-Lehner involutions W0(D,N) as a subgroup of index 1 or 2. It...

Introduction Let Γ ⊂ PGUd−1,1(R) 0 be a torsion-free cocompact lattice. Then Γ acts on the unit ball B ⊂ C by holomorphic automorphisms. The quotient Γ\B is a complex manifold, which has a unique structure of a complex projective variety XΓ (see [Sha, Ch. IX, §3]). Shimura had proved that when Γ is an arithmetic congruence subgroup, XΓ has a canonical structure of a projective variety over some...

Let W be a variety of groups defined by a set W of laws and G be a finite p-group in W. The automorphism α of a group G is said to bea marginal automorphism (with respect to W), if for all x ∈ G, x−1α(x) ∈ W∗(G), where W∗(G) is the marginal subgroup of G. Let M,N be two normalsubgroups of G. By AutM(G), we mean the subgroup of Aut(G) consistingof all automorphisms which centralize G/M. AutN(G) ...
