Abstract

We prove that the set of CM points on the Shimura curve associated to an Eichler order inside an indefinite quaternion Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra, is in bijection with the set of certain classes of pp-adic binary quadratic forms, where pp is a prime dividing the discriminant of the quaternion algebra. The classes of pp-adic binary quadratic forms are obtain by the action of a discrete and cocompact subgroup of PGL2(Qp)\mathrm{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{Q}_{p}) arising from the pp-adic uniformization of the Shimura curve. We finally compute families of pp-adic binary quadratic forms associated to an infinite family of Shimura curves studied in a previous paper of Amor\'os-Milione. This extends results of Alsina-Bayer to the pp-adic context.
