Rational torsion points on Jacobians of Shimura curves

Abstract

Let pp and qq be distinct primes. Consider the Shimura curve X\mathcal{X} associated to the indefinite quaternion algebra of discriminant pqpq over Q\mathbb{Q}. Let JJ be the Jacobian variety of X\mathcal{X}, which is an abelian variety over Q\mathbb{Q}. For an odd prime \ell, we provide sufficient conditions for the non-existence of rational points of order \ell on JJ. As an application, we find some non-trivial subgroups of the kernel of an isogeny from the new quotient of J0(pq)J_0(pq) to JJ.
