Nov 10, 2013 at 22:23 comment added Will Sawin If $\alpha_i$ is greater than one, this implies that there are many different covering maps from $X$ to $E_i$.

Nov 10, 2013 at 18:28 comment added user42616 Fair enough. Suppose then that the $\alpha_i =1$ for all $i$. Does $\phi$ always define an isogeny? Can we deduce the degree directly? (is it $\prod_i d_i$?)
Nov 10, 2013 at 18:24 comment added abx Obviously no, unless you take $\alpha_i=1$ for all $i$.
Nov 10, 2013 at 18:21 comment added user42616 You're right - I should have thought of that. Is there any way, then, to construct an isogeny $A \to J$ by "using only" the maps $\phi_i$? Thanks!
Nov 10, 2013 at 18:15 comment added abx But then it cannot be surjective! $\phi^*$ is a homomorphism, so the image of $\phi^*+\ldots+\phi^*:E^\alpha \rightarrow J$ is $\phi^*(E)$.

Ambiguous notation
Nov 10, 2013 at 18:02 comment added user42616 Good point, my notation is ambiguous -- what I meant with $\alpha \phi^\ast$ is $\phi^\ast + ... + \phi^\ast$ (there are $\alpha$ summands).

Nov 10, 2013 at 17:38 comment added abx There is something wrong with your formulation : what is the map from $E_i^{\alpha_i} $ to $J$? $\alpha_1 \phi_1^\ast$ is a map from $E_i$ to $J$, not from $E_i^{\alpha_i} $ to $J$.
