Abstract

Let QD\mathcal Q_D be the set of moduli points on Siegel's modular threefold whose corresponding principally polarized abelian surfaces have quaternionic multiplication by a maximal order O\mathcal O in an indefinite quaternion algebra of discriminant DD over Q\mathbb Q such that the Rosati involution coincides with a positive involution of the form αμ1αμ\alpha\mapsto\mu^{-1}\overline\alpha\mu on O\mathcal O for some μO\mu\in\mathcal O with μ2+D=0\mu^2+D=0. In this paper, we first give a formula for the number of irreducible components in QD\mathcal Q_D, strengthening an earlier result of Rotger. Then for each irreducible component of genus 00, we determine its rational parameterization in terms of a Hauptmodul of the associated Shimura curve.
