Singular Moduli of Shimura Curves

چکیده

The j-function acts as a parametrization of the classical modular curve. Its values at complex multiplication (CM) points are called singular moduli and are algebraic integers. A Shimura curve is a generalization of the modular curve and, if the Shimura curve has genus 0, a rational parameterizing function exists and when evaluated at a CM point is again algebraic over Q. This paper shows that the coordinate maps given in [6] for the Shimura curves associated to the quaternion algebras with discriminants 6 and 10 are Borcherds lifts of vector-valued modular forms. This property is then used to explicitly compute the rational norms of singular moduli on these curves. This method not only verifies the conjectural values for the rational CM points listed in [6], but also provides a way of algebraically calculating the norms of CM points with arbitrarily large negative discriminant.

The Gross-zagier Formula on Singular Moduli for Shimura Curves

The Gross-Zagier formula on singular moduli can be seen as a calculation of the intersection multiplicity of two CM divisors on the integral model of a modular curve. We prove a generalization of this result to a Shimura curve.

20 05 Shimura - and Teichmüller Curves

We classify curves in the moduli space of curves that are both Shimura-and Teichmüller curves: Except for the moduli space of genus one curves there is only a single such curve. We start with a Hodge-theoretic description of Shimura curves and Teichmüller curves that reveals similarities and differences of the two classes of curves. The proof of the classification relies on the geometry of squa...

On the p-adic geometry of traces of singular moduli

The aim of this article is to show that p-adic geometry of modular curves is useful in the study of p-adic properties of traces of singular moduli. In order to do so, we partly answer a question by Ono ([5, Problem 7.30]). As our goal is just to illustrate how p-adic geometry can be used in this context, we focus on a relatively simple case, in the hope that others will try to obtain the strong...

Computing CM Points on Shimura Curves Arising from Cocompact Arithmetic Triangle Groups

Let PSL2(R) be a cocompact arithmetic triangle group, i.e. a triangle Fuchsian group that arises from the unit group of a quaternion algebra over a totally real number eld. We introduce CM points de ned on the Shimura curve quotient XC = nH, and we algorithmically apply the Shimura reciprocity law to compute these points and their Galois conjugates so as to recognize them as purported algebraic...

Equations of Shimura Curves of Genus Two

LetBD be the indefinite quaternion algebra overQ of reduced discriminantD=p1· · · · ·p2r for pairwise different prime numbers pi and let XD/Q be the Shimura curve attached to BD. As it was shown by Shimura [23], XD is the coarse moduli space of abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication by BD. Let W = {ωm : m | D} ⊆ Aut Q(XD) be the group of Atkin-Lehner involutions. For any m | D, we wi...
