Abstract
Let and be distinct primes. Consider the Shimura curve associated to the indefinite quaternion algebra of discriminant over . Let be the Jacobian variety of , which is an abelian variety over . For an odd prime , we provide sufficient conditions for the non-existence of rational points of order on . As an application, we find some non-trivial subgroups of the kernel of an isogeny from the new quotient of to .
