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 ...

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(...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Degree of morphisms and isogenies
$\renewcommand{\J}{\mathrm{Jac}} \renewcommand{\F}{\mathbb{F}}$
I am reading this paper by B. Gross, and there is something I don't understand on p. 945. Here is the context: fix a prime $p \equiv 3 \...

Isogeny from kernel in higher dimensional abelian varieties
Is there any kind of generalization of Vélu formulae for Jacobians?
The question technically is:
Given a hyperelliptic curve $H/\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q$ and its jacobian $J_H$ of dimension $2$, if $...

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.

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}(...

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&...

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 $0$)
