An unexpected trace relation of CM points
Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve of conductor where is an odd prime not dividing . Let be the order of conductor (relatively prime to ) in an imaginary quadratic field in which is inert and such that the sign of the functional equation of is . Associated to these data there is a Shimura curve of non-split Cartan level at and a CM point of conductor on it. We can also consider a CM point of conductor on another Shimura curve, using a split Cartan level at . These curves admit parametrizations to and taking the images of the CM points we obtain points on defined over and respectively (the ring class fields of conductor and ). We prove that these points arising from different Shimura curves satisfy a trace compatibility that is non-trivial if and only if the local sign of at is .
