Abstract. We use a combinatorial result relating the discriminant of the cycle pairing on a weighted finite graph to the eigenvalues of its Laplacian to deduce a formula for the orders of component groups of Jacobians of modular curves arising from quaternion algebras over Fq(T ) or Q. Our formula over Q recovers a result of Jordan and Livné.Mathematics Subject Classification. 11G18, 05C25, 11F12.
