Abstract
We prove that the theta correspondence for the dual pair \(({\widetilde{\textup{SL}_2}}, \textit{PB}^\times)\), for B an indefinite quaternion algebra over ℚ, acting on modular forms of odd square-free level, preserves rationality and p-integrality in both directions. As a consequence, we deduce the rationality of certain period ratios of modular forms and even p-integrality of these ratios under the assumption that p does not divide a certain L-value. The rationality is applied to give a direct construction of isogenies between new quotients of Jacobians of Shimura curves, completely independent of Faltings’ isogeny theorem.
