Atkin-Lehner involution on the modular abelian varieties
Let $f$ be a CM modular forms with coefficients in the imaginary qudaratic field $K=Q(\sqrt{-3}))$ which correspond to an elliptic curve $E$ defined over $K$. Then Shimura constructed an abelian ...

Upper bound on number of integral solutions of elliptic curves
I was studying M. Bhargava Et al's seminal paper titled "Bounds on 2-torsion in class groups of number fields and integral points on elliptic curves"
And came across a very fascinating ...

The ideal in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of all vanishing polynomials of a curve automorphism
Let $C$ be a projective irreducible algebraic curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ (for simplicity). Given an automorphism $\alpha \in \mathrm{Aut}(C)$ of order $...

One unexpected observation related to algebraic curves and their Jacobians
Let $C$ be a projective irreducible algebraic curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ (for simplicity). Assume that there is also a cover $\varphi\!: C \to E$ to an elliptic ...

Why an elliptic curve can be defined as an abelian variety of dimension 1?
Now we define an elliptic curve as "a smooth projective curve of genus one with a specified base point". (A little question by the way: Is the requirement "with a specified base point&...

Derivative of dual isogeny is pullback on $H^1$
Apologies if this is not quite at the level of MathOverflow, but I have already asked at MSE and received no answer after two+ weeks and a bounty.
Let $X$ and $Y$ be elliptic curves (over an ...

Jacobians of genus 2 curves isogenous to a square of a supersingular elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$
I would like to construct hyperelliptic curves whose Jacobians are isogenous to the square of a supersingular elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$
My question is motivated by the following example.

An explicit equation for $X_1(13)$ and a computation using MAGMA
By a general theory $X_1(13)$ is smooth over $\mathbb{Z}[1/13]$, and so is its Jacobian $J$.
And the hyperelliptic curve given by an affine model $y^2 = x^6 - 2x^5 + x^4 -2x^3 + 6x^2 -4x + 1$ is $X_1(...

Self intersection of theta divisor
I hope my question is not too basic here.
I have a very specific setting and I am trying to not use "big theorems" to prove a well known fact algebraically. I hope someone can give me a hint.
Let $J/...

What is the quotient $E \!\times\! E^\prime / G$?
Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ such that $p \equiv 1 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 3)$, $p \equiv 3 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 4)$, $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-isomorphic elliptic curves (of $j$-invariant $0$)

Is there a non-singular irreducible genus $2$ curve $C/\mathbb{F}_p$ and two $\mathbb{F}_p$-coverings $C \to E$, $C \to E^{(1)}$ of some degree $n$?
Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ (where $p \equiv 1 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 3)$, $p \equiv 3 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 4)$), $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-isomorphic elliptic curves (of $j$-invariant $0$)

Scalar multiplication via the Kummer surface of a genus $2$ curve by $\sqrt{5}$
I hope this is a good question.
Recently I worked with genus two curves $H$ that have multiplication by $[\zeta_5]\in \text{Aut}(H)$, that is, multiplication by $e^{2\pi i/5}$. This automorphism is ...

5-Descent or ($\sqrt{5}$-Descent?) on certain genus 2 Jacobians
I would like to know if there is something I can read to compute the following:
Let $H$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $2$ given by $y^2=x^5 + 10$ and let $J$ be its Jacobian.
How can I prove ...

Is there a largest prime p such that J_0(p) completely splits into elliptic curves
The question in the title is related to a more general question. Namely does there exist an integer $N$ such that for all curves $C/\mathbb C$ of genus $> N$ one has that not all simple isogeny ...

Curve C of genus 2 whose equation satisfies equation in Igusa invariants, but where Jac(C) does not split
The background question is: Let $C$ be a curve of genus $2$ over a field $k$. When is there a degree $2$ morphism from $C$ to an elliptic curve (and therefore an isogeny from the Jacobian $\mbox{Jac}(...

What is the reduction of this hyperelliptic curve
Let $K$ be a number field and $E/K$ an elliptic curve with equation $Y^2Z = X^3 +AXZ^2+BZ^3$ in $\mathbf{P}^2_K$, where $A,B\in K$.
Let $S$ be non-empty finite set of finite places of $K$ and suppose ...
