Optimal spinor selectivity for quaternion orders

Number Theory 2022-07-27 v1

Abstract

Let DD be a quaternion algebra over a number field FF, and G\mathscr{G} be an arbitrary genus of OFO_F-orders of full rank in DD. Let KK be a quadratic field extension of FF that embeds into DD, and BB be an OFO_F-order in KK that can be optimally embedded into some member of G\mathscr{G}. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for BB to be optimally spinor selective for the genus G\mathscr{G}, which generalizes previous existing optimal selectivity criterions for Eichler orders as given by Arenas, Arenas-Carmona and Contreras, and by Voight independently. This allows us to obtain a refinement of the classical trace formula for optimal embeddings, which will be called the spinor trace formula. When G\mathscr{G} is a genus of Eichler orders, we extend Maclachlan's relative conductor formula for optimal selectivity from Eichler orders of square-free levels to all Eichler orders.
