Roots of unity in definite quaternion orders

Abstract: Abstract. A commutative order in a quaternion algebra is called selective if it is embeds into some, but not all, the maximal orders in the algebra. It is known that a given quadratic order over a number field can be selective in at most one indefinite quaternion algebra. Here we prove that the order generated by a cubic root of unity is selective for any definite quaternion algebra over the rationals with a type number 3 or larger. The proof extends to a few other closely related orders.

“…Basse-Serre Theory allows us to determine the structure of the group Γ in terms of the quotient graphs in some cases, see [16] for an account of this subject. If the action has inversions we can still define a quotient graph by replacing G by its barycentric subdivision and ignoring the new vertices unless they become endpoints in the quotient, where they are called virtual endpoints, see [3] or [4] for details. The edge joining a vertex and a virtual endpoint is called a half-edge.…”

“…The corresponding quotient graphs are closely related to the function field analog of Shimura curves [13]. The extension of this theory to number fields also encodes important arithmetic information, for example in [7] we characterize, in a definite quaternion algebra, the orders of maximal rank containing cubic roots of unity, in terms of the corresponding quotient graphs. Describing the set of orders in a genus containing a copy of a given suborder is known as the selectivity problem, and its understanding is critical for the construction of isospectral but non-isometric Riemannian manifolds.…”
