    Let \(A\) be a principally polarized abelian surface defined over \(\mathbb Q\) and \(p\) be a rational prime, Let \({\tilde A}\) be the reduction of \(A\) at a good prime \(p\). In the paper the author studies the density \[ C_{A}:= \lim_{X\rightarrow \infty}\frac{\#\{p\in {\pi}_{1}(X)\, | \, {\tilde A}({\mathbb F}_p)\, \text{ is cyclic }\}}{\# {\pi}_{1}(X)} \] The author states the following conjecture for the abelian surfaces based on the Theorem of Serre and Murty concerning elliptic curves over \(\mathbb Q\). [Conjecture 1.2] Let \(A\) be a principally polarized abelian surface defined over \(\mathbb Q\) and \(A[m]\) be the kernel of multiplication by an integer \(m\) on \(A\). Assume the GRH. Then \[ C_{A}={\Sigma}_{m: \text{ squarefree }\geq 1}\frac{{\mu(m)\# T_{m}}}{\# \text{Gal}({\mathbb Q}(A[m])/{\mathbb Q})} \] where \(T_{m}=\{{\sigma}\in \text{Gal}({\mathbb Q}(A[m])/{\mathbb Q})\, | \quad \dim_{{\mathbb Z}/{l{\mathbb Z}}}(A[l]^{\sigma})\geq 2 \quad \forall \, l| m \,\}\). Here \(A[l]^{\sigma})=\{P\in A[l] \quad | \quad P^{\sigma}=P \}\) for a rational prime \(l.\) In other words, \[ \#\{ p\leq X \, | \, {\tilde A}({\mathbb F}_{p}) \text{ is cyclic and }p\text{ is a good prime } \} \sim C_{A}{\cdot}\frac{X}{\log X}. \] GRH here, is an abbreviation for Generalized Riemann Hypotheses. The author proves under some additional hypotheses a special case of this conjecture for \(A\) having the endomorphism ring \(\mathbb Z\).
