Definition 3.22. Let B be a R-order <strong>of</strong> a separable quadratic extension L/K.<br />
We define Eichler symbol ( B<br />

a maximal order, and equal to 1 otherwise. <strong>The</strong> conductor f(B) <strong>of</strong> B is the<br />
integral ideal f(B) <strong>of</strong> R satisfying f(B)p = f(Bp), ∀p /∈ S.<br />
