Hyperelliptic Jacobians without complex multiplication (Q1574764)

Let \(K\) be a field of characteristic different from 2 and \(K_a\) its algebraic closure. The main result proved in the paper is the following: Let \(f(x)\in K[x]\) be an irreducible and separable polynomial of degree \(n\geq 5\) whose Galois group is \(S_n\) or \(A_n\) and let \(J(C_f)\) be the Jacobian of the hyperelliptic curve of equation \(y^2=f(x)\) whose \(K_a\)-endomorphism ring is denoted by \(\text{End} (J(C_f))\). Then either \(\text{End} (J(C_f))= \mathbb{Z}\) or \(\text{char}(K)>0\) and \(J(C_f)\) is a supersingular abelian variety. The proof is based on the study of representation of \(\text{End} (J(C_f))\) in the \(\mathbb{F}_2\)-vector space of 2-torsion points of \(J(C_f)\).
