Abstract

We study the Čerednik–Drinfeld p-adic uniformization of certain Atkin–Lehner quotients of Shimura curves over ℚ. We use it to determine over which local fields they have rational points and divisors of a given degree. Using a criterion of Poonen and Stoll, we show that the Shafarevich–Tate group of their jacobians is not of square order for infinitely many cases.
