Twists of Shimura Curves

Abstract

Consider a Shimura curve X0D(N)X^D_0(N) over the rational numbers. We determine criteria for the twist by an Atkin-Lehner involution to have points over a local field. As a corollary we give a new proof of the theorem of Jordan-Livn\'e on Qp\mathbf{Q}_p points when pDp\mid D and for the first time give criteria for Qp\mathbf{Q}_p points when pNp\mid N. We also give congruence conditions for roots modulo pp of Hilbert class polynomials.
