Abstract

Let O be a maximal order in a totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field. In this note we study the locus QO of quaternionic multiplication by O in the moduli space Ag of principally polarized abelian varieties of even dimension g with particular emphasis in the two-dimensional case. We describe QO as a union of Atkin-Lehner quotients of Shimura varieties and we compute the number of irreducible components of QO in terms of class numbers of CM-fields.
