Abstract

Let N=pqN=pq be a product of two distinct primes. There is an isogeny J0(N)newJNJ_0(N)^{\rm new}\to J^N defined over Q\mathbf{Q} between the new quotient of J0(N)J_0(N) and the Jacobian of the Shimura curve attached to the indefinite quaternion algebra of discriminant NN. In the case when p=2,3,5,7,13p=2,3,5,7,13, Ogg made predictions about the kernels of these isogenies. We show that Ogg's conjecture is not true in general. Afterwards, we propose a strategy for proving results toward Ogg's conjecture in certain situations. Finally, we discuss this strategy in detail for N=513N=5\cdot 13.
