Binary quadratic forms and Eichler orders
par Montserrat ALSINA
Résumé. Pour tout ordre d’Eichler O(D, N ) de niveau N dans
une algèbre de quaternions indéfinie de discriminant D, il existe
un groupe Fuchsien Γ(D, N ) ⊆ SL(2, R) et une courbe de Shimura
X(D, N ). Nous associons à O(D, N ) un ensemble H(O(D, N )) de
formes quadratiques binaires ayant des coefficients semi-entiers
quadratiques et developpons une classification des formes quadratiques primitives de H(O(D, N )) pour rapport à Γ(D, N ). En particulier nous retrouvons la classification des formes quadratiques
primitives et entières de SL(2, Z). Un domaine fondamental explicite pour Γ(D, N ) permet de caractériser les Γ(D, N ) formes
réduites.
Abstract. For any Eichler order O(D, N ) of level N in an indefinite quaternion algebra of discriminant D there is a Fuchsian
group Γ(D, N ) ⊆ SL(2, R) and a Shimura curve X(D, N ). We
associate to O(D, N ) a set H(O(D, N )) of binary quadratic forms
which have semi-integer quadratic coefficients, and we develop a
classification theory, with respect to Γ(D, N ), for primitive forms
contained in H(O(D, N )). In particular, the classification theory of primitive integral binary quadratic forms by SL(2, Z) is
recovered. Explicit fundamental domains for Γ(D, N ) allow the
characterization of the Γ(D, N )-reduced forms.
1. Preliminars
Let H =
a,b
Q
be the quaternion Q-algebra of basis {1, i, j, ij}, satisfying
=
= b, ji = −ij, a, b ∈ Q∗ . Assume H is an indefinite quaternion
algebra, that is, H ⊗Q R ' M(2, R). Then the discriminant DH of H is
the product of an even number of different primes DH = p1 · · · p2r ≥ 1 and
we can assume a > 0. Actually, a discriminant D determines a quaternion
algebra H such that DH = D up to isomorphism. Let us denote by n(ω)
the reduced norm of ω ∈ H.
Fix any embedding Φ : H ,→ M(2, R). For simplicity we can keep in
mind the embedding given at the following lemma.

Lemma 1.1. Let H = a,b
be an indefinite quaternion algebra with a > 0.
Q
An embedding Φ : H ,→ M(2, R) is obtained by:
√ √
z + t √a
x + y √a
.
Φ(x + yi + zj + tij) =
b(z − t a) x − y a
Given N ≥ 1, gcd(D, N ) = 1, let us consider an Eichler order of level
N , that is a Z-module of rank 4, subring of H, intersection of two maximal
orders. By Eichler’s results it is unique up to conjugation and we denote it
by O(D, N ).
Consider Γ(D, N ) := Φ({ω ∈ O(D, N )∗ | n(ω) > 0}) ⊆ SL(2, R) a group
of quaternion transformations. This group acts on the upper complex half
plane H = {x + ιy ∈ C | y > 0}. We denote by X(D, N ) the canonical
model of the Shimura curve defined by the quotient Γ(D, N )\H, cf. [Shi67],
[AAB01].
For any γ = ac db ∈ GL(2, R) we denote by P(γ) the set of fixed points
in C of the transformation defined by γ(z) = az+b
cz+d .
Let us denote by E(H, F ) the set of embeddings of a quadratic field F
into the quaternion algebra H. Assume there is an embedding ϕ ∈ E(H, F ).
Then, all the quaternion transformations in Φ(ϕ(F ∗ )) ⊂ GL(2, R) have the
same set of fixed points, which we denote by P(ϕ). In the case that F is an
imaginary quadratic field it yields to complex multiplication points, since
P(ϕ) ∩ H is just a point, z(ϕ).
Now, we take in account the arithmetic of the orders. Let us consider
the set of optimal embeddings of quadratic orders Λ into quaternion orders
O,
E ∗ (O, Λ) := {ϕ | ϕ : Λ ,→ O, ϕ(F ) ∩ O = ϕ(Λ)}.
Any group G ≤ Nor(O) acts on E ∗ (O, Λ), and we can consider the quotient E ∗ (O, Λ)/G. Put ν(O, Λ; G) := ] E ∗ (O, Λ)/G. We will also use the
notation ν(D, N, d, m; G) for an Eichler order O(D,
√N ) ⊆ H of level N
and the quadratic order of conductor m in F = Q( d), which we denote
Λ(d, m).
Since further class numbers in this paper will be related to this one,
we include next theorem (cf. [Eic55]). It provides the well-known relation
between the class numbers of local and global embeddings, and collects the
formulas for the class number of local embeddings given in [Ogg83] and
[Vig80] in the case G = O∗ . Consider ψp the multiplicative function given
by ψp (pk ) = pk (1 + p1 ), ψp (a) = 1 if p - a. Put h(d, m) the ideal class
number of the quadratic order Λ(d, m).
Theorem 1.2. Let O = O(D, N ) be an Eichler order of level N in an
indefinite quaternion Q-algebra H of √
discriminant D. Let Λ(d, m)
√ be the
quadratic order of conductor m in Q( d). Assume that E(H, Q( d)) 6= ∅

and gcd(m, D) = 1. Then,
ν(D, N, d, m; O∗ ) = h(d, m)
Y
νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ).
p|DN
The local class numbers of embeddings νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ), for the primes
p|DN , are given by
(i) If p|D, then νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ) = 1 − DpF .
(ii) If p k N , then νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ) is equal to 1 + DpF if p - m, and
equal to 2 if p|m.
(iii) Assume N = pr u1 , with p - u1 , r ≥ 2. Put m = pk u2 , p - u2 .
(a) If r ≥ 2k + 2, then νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ) is equal to 2ψp (m) if
DF

= 1, and equal to 0 otherwise.

(b) If r = 2k + 1, then νp (D,
N,d, m; O ) is equal to 2ψp (m)
if

(c) If r = 2k, then νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ) = pk−1 p + 1 + DpF .
(d) If r ≤ 2k − 1, then νp (D, N, d, m; O∗ ) is equal to pk/2 + pk/2−1
if k is even, and equal to 2pk−1/2 if k is odd.
2. Classification theory of binary forms associated to
quaternions
Given α = ac db ∈ M(2, R), we put fα (x, y) := cx2 + (d − a)xy − by 2 . It
is called the binary quadratic form associated to α.
2
For a binary quadratic form f (x, y) :=Ax2 + Bxy
+ Cy = (A, B, C), we
A B/2
consider the associated matrix A(f ) = B/2 C , and the determinants
det1 (f ) = det A(f ) and det2 (f ) = 22 det A(f ) = −(B 2 − 4AC). Denote by
P(f ) the set of solutions in C of Az 2 + Bz + C = 0. If f is (positive or
negative) definite, then P(f ) ∩ H is just a point which we denote by τ (f ).
The proof of the following lemma is straightforward.
Lemma 2.1. Let α ∈ M(2, R).
(i) For all λ, µ ∈ Q, we have fλα = λfα and fα+µ Id = fα ; in particular,
P(fλα+µ Id ) = P(fα ).
(ii) z ∈ C is a fixed point of α if and only if z ∈ P(fα ), that is, P(fα ) =
P(α).
(iii) Let γ ∈ GL(2, R). Then A(fγ −1 αγ ) = (det γ −1 )γ t A(fα )γ; in particular, if γ ∈ SL(2, R), z ∈ P(fα ) if and only if γ −1 (z) ∈ P(fγ −1 αγ ).
Definition 2.2. For a quaternion ω ∈ H ∗ , we define the binary quadratic
form associated to ω as the binary quadratic form fΦ(ω) .

Given a quaternion algebra H denote by H0 the pure quaternions. By
using lemma 2.1 it is enough to consider the binary forms associated to
pure quaternions:
H(a, b) = {fΦ(ω) : ω ∈ H0 },
H(O) = {fΦ(ω) : ω ∈ O ∩ H0 }.
Definition 2.3. Let O be an order in a quaternion algebra H. We define
the denominator mO of O as the minimal positive integer such that mO ·O ⊆
Z[1, i, j, ij]. Then the ideal (mO ) is the conductor of O in Z[1, i, j, ij].
Properties for these binary forms are collected in the following proposition, easy to be verified.
Proposition 2.4. Consider an indefinite quaternion algebra H = a,b
Q ,
and an order O ⊆ H. Fix the embedding Φ as in lemma 1.1. Then:
(i) There is a bijective mapping H0 → H(a, b) defined by ω 7→ fΦ(ω) .
Moreover det1 (fΦ(ω) ) = n(ω).

Given a quaternion order O and a quadratic order Λ, put
H(O, Λ) := {f ∈ H(O) : det1 (f ) = −DΛ }.
Remark that an imaginary quadratic order yields to consider definite binary quadratic forms, and a real quadratic order yields to indefinite binary
forms.
√
√
Given ω ∈ O ∩H0 , consider Fω = Q( d), d = − n(ω). Then ϕω ( d) = ω
defines an embedding ϕω ∈ E(H, Fω ). By considering Λω := ϕ−1
ω (O) ∩
Fω , we have ϕω ∈ E ∗ (O, Λω ). Therefore, by construction, it is clear that
P(fΦ(ω) ) = P(Φ(ω)) = P(ϕω ). In particular, if we deal with quaternions of
positive norm, we obtain definite binary forms, imaginary quadratic fields
and a unique solution τ (fΦ(ω) ) = z(ϕω ) ∈ H. The points corresponding to
these binary quadratic forms are in fact the complex multiplication points.
Theorem 4.53 in [AB04] states a bijective mapping f from the set E(O, Λ)
of embeddings of a quadratic order Λ into a quaternion order O onto the
set H(Z + 2O, Λ) of binary quadratic forms associated to the orders Z + 2O
and Λ. By using optimal embeddings, a definition of primitivity for the
forms in H(Z + 2O, Λ) was introduced. We denote by H∗ (Z + 2O, Λ) the
corresponding subset of (O, Λ)-primitive binary forms. Then equivalence
of embeddings yields to equivalence of forms.
Corollary 2.5. Given orders O and Λ as above, for any G ⊆ O∗ consider
Φ(G) ⊆ GL(2, R). There is a bijective mapping between E ∗ (O, Λ)/G and
H∗ (Z + 2O, Λ)/Φ(G).
Binary forms and Eichler orders
17
Fix O = O(D, N ), Λ = Λ(d, m) and G = O∗ . We use the notation
h(D, N, d, m) := ]H∗ (Z + 2O(D, N ), Λ(d, m))/ΓO∗ . Thus, h(D, N, d, m) =
ν(D, N, d, m; O∗ ), which can be computed explicitly by Eichler results (cf.
theorem 1.2).
3. Generalized reduced binary forms
Fix an Eichler order O(D, N ) in an indefinite quaternion algebra H.
Consider the associated group Γ(D, N ) and the Shimura curve X(D, N ).
For a quadratic order Λ(d, m), consider the set H∗ (Z + 2O(2p, N ), Λ)
of binary quadratic forms. As above, for a definite binary quadratic form
f = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy 2 , denote by τ (f ) the solution of Az 2 + Bz + C = 0
in H.
Definition 3.1. Fix a fundamental domain D(D, N ) for Γ(D, N ) in H.
Make a choice about the boundary in such a way that every point
in H is equivalent to a unique point of D(D, N ). A binary form f ∈
H∗ (Z + 2O(D, N ), Λ) is called Γ(D, N )-reduced form if τ (f ) ∈ D(D, N ).
Theorem 3.2. The number of positive definite Γ(D, N )-reduced forms in
H∗ (Z + 2O(D, N ), Λ(d, m)) is finite and equal to h(D, N, d, m).
Proof. We can assume d < 0, in order H∗ (Z + 2O(D, N ), Λ(d, m))
consists on definite binary forms. By lemma 2.1 (iii), we have that
Γ(D, N )-equivalence of forms yields to Γ(D, N )-equivalence of points. Note
that τ (f ) = τ (−f ), but f is not Γ(D, N )-equivalent to −f . Thus, in each
class of Γ(D, N )-equivalence of forms there is a unique reduced binary form.
Consider G = {ω ∈ O∗ | n(ω) > 0} in order to get Φ(G) = Γ(D, N ). The
group G has index 2 in O∗ and the number of classes of Γ(D, N )-equivalence
in H∗ (Z + 2O(D, N ), Λ(d, m)) is 2 h(D, N, d, m). In that set, positive and
negative definite forms were included, thus the number of classes of positive
definite forms is exactly h(D, N, d, m).
4. Non-ramified and small ramified cases
Definition 4.1. Let H be a quaternion algebra of discriminant D. We say
that H is nonramified if D = 1, that is H ' M(2, Q). We say H is small
ramified if D = pq; in this case, we say it is of type A if D =2p,
p≡3
p
mod 4, and we say it is of type B if DH = pq, q ≡ 1 mod 4 and q = −1.
It makes sense because of the following statement.
18
Proposition 4.2. For H =
statements holds:

p,q
Q
, p, q primes, exactly one of the following
(i) H is nonramified.
(ii) H is small ramified of type A.
(iii) H is small ramified of type B.
We are going to specialize above results for reduced binary forms for each
one of these cases.
4.1. Nonramified case. Consider H = M(2, Q) and take the Eichler
order
a b
O0 (1, N ) := cN
d | a, b, c, d ∈ Z .
Then Γ(1, N ) = Γ0 (N ) and the curve X(1, N ) is the modular curve X0 (N ).
To unify results with the ramified

j+ij
the Eichler order O(1, N ) := Z 1, 2 , N 2 , 2 in the nonramified
quaternion algebra 1,−1
.
Q
Proposition 4.3. Consider the Eichler order O = O0 (1, N ) ⊆ M(2, Q)
and the quadratic order Λ = Λ(d, m). Then:
(i) H∗ (Z + 2O, Λ) ' {f = (N a, b, c) | a, b, c ∈ Z, det2 (f ) = −DΛ }.
(ii) The (O, Λ)-primitivity condition is gcd(a, b, c) = 1.
(iii) If d < 0, the number of Γ0 (N )-reduced positive definite primitive
binary quadratic forms in H∗ (Z + 2O, Λ) is equal to h(1, N, d, m).
For N = 1, the well-known theory on reduced integer binary quadratic
forms is recovered. In particular, the class number of SL(2, Z)-equivalence
is h(d, m).
For N > 1, a general theory of reduced binary forms is obtained. For N
equal to a prime, let us fix the symmetrical fundamental domain
D(1, N ) = z ∈ H | | Re(z)| ≤ 1/2, z − Nk > N1 , k ∈ Z, 0 < |k| ≤ N 2−1
given at [AB04]; a detailed construction can be found in [Als00]. Then
a positive definite binary form f = (N a, b, c), a > 0, is Γ0 (N )-reduced if
and only if |b| ≤ N a and |τ (f ) − Nk | > N1 for k ∈ Z, 0 < |k| ≤ N 2−1 .
Figure 4.1 shows the 46 points corresponding to reduced binary forms in
H∗ (Z + 2O0 (1, 23), Λ) for DΛ = 7, 11, 19, 23, 28, 43, 56, 67, 76, 83, 88, 91, 92,
which occurs in an special graphical position. In fact these points are
exactly the special complex multiplication points of X(1, 23), characterized
by the existence of elements α ∈ Λ(d, m) of norm DN (cf. [AB04]). The
table describes the n = h(1, 23, d, m) inequivalent points for each quadratic
order Λ(d, m).
Binary forms and Eichler orders
19
Note that for these symmetrical domains it is easy to implement an
algorithm to decide if a form in this set is reduced or not, by using isometric
circles.

of order 2 or 3, they are the associated points to forms of determinant 4 or

(i) The set H(Z + 2OB (pq, N ), Λ) of binary forms contains precisely the

forms f = (q(a + b p), 2c p, −a + b p) where a, b, c ∈ Z, 2N |(c − b)
and det1 (f ) = −DΛ .
(ii) The (OB (pq, N ), Λ)-primitivity
condition for these binary quadratic
forms in (i) is gcd a, b, c−b

(iii) If d < 0, the number of ΓB (pq, N )-reduced positive definite primitive
binary forms in H∗ (Z + 2OB (pq, N ), Λ) is equal to h(pq, N, d, m).
In figure 4.3 we show a fundamental domain for ΓB (10, 1) given by the
hyperbolic polygon of vertices {w1 , w2 , w3 , w4 , w5 , w6 }. All the vertices are
elliptic points of order 3; thus they are the associated points to binary
