Abstract: For an imaginary quadratic field k of class number >1, we prove that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of rational indefinite quaternion division algebras B such that the associated Shimura curve MB has k-rational points. In other words, the main result asserts that there is a finite set P(k) of prime numbers depending on k such that: if there is a prime divisor of the discriminant of B which is not in P(k), then MB has no k-rational points. Moreover, we can take P(k) to satisfy the following: There is an effectively computable constant C(k) depending on k such that pinP(k) implies p<C(k) with at most one possible exception. The case where k splits B was done by Jordan. In the non-split case, the proof is done by studying a canonical isogeny character and its composition with the transfer map.
