Abstract:

Let $K$ be a totally real number field and let $B$ be a totally definite quaternion algebra over $K$. Given a set of representatives for ideal classes for a maximal order in $B$, we show how to construct in an efficient way a set of representatives of ideal classes for any Bass order in $B$. The algorithm does not require any knowledge of class numbers, and improves the equivalence checking process by using a simple calculation with global units. As an application, we compute ideal classes representatives for an order of discriminant $30$ in an algebra over the real quadratic field $\mathbb {Q}[\sqrt {5}]$.
