Abstract
The Hilbert class field of the quaternion algebra is an algebra such that every two-sided ideal of is principal in . We study the avatars of and , i.e. algebraic surfaces attached to the quaternion algebras. It is proved that the avatar of is obtained from the avatar of by a birational map. We apply this result to the function field analogy.
