Abstract

Let AA be a real quadratic order of discriminant pp or 4p4p with a prime pp. In this paper we classify all proper totally imaginary quadratic AA-orders BB with index w(B)=[B×:A×]>1w(B)=[B^\times: A^\times]>1. We also calculate numerical invariants of these orders including the class number, the index w(B)w(B) and the numbers of local optimal embeddings of these orders into quaternion orders. These numerical invariants are useful for computing the class numbers of totally definite quaternion algebras.
