Abstract

By constructing suitable Borcherds forms on Shimura curves and using Schofer's formula for norms of values of Borcherds forms at CM-points, we determine all the equations of hyperelliptic Shimura curves X0D(N)X_0^D(N). As a byproduct, we also address the problem of whether a modular form on Shimura curves X0D(N)/WD,NX_0^D(N)/W_{D,N} with a divisor supported on CM-divisors can be realized as a Borcherds form, where X0D(N)/WD,NX_0^D(N)/W_{D,N} denotes the quotient of X0D(N)X_0^D(N) by all the Atkin-Lehner involutions. The construction of Borcherds forms is done by solving certain integer programming problems.
