Computing quaternion quotient graphs via representation of orders

Number Theory 2012-07-17 v1

Abstract

We study the correspondence assigning the vertices of a certain quotient of the local Bruhat-Tits tree for the general linear group over a global function field, to conjugacy classes of maximal orders in some quaternion algebras. The interplay between quotient graphs and orders can be used to study representation of orders if the quotient graphs are known and conversely. We use this converse to find a reciprocity law between quotient graph at diferent places that suffices to compute, recursively, all local quotient graphs for a matrix algebra over a rational function field.
