Abstract: We give an elementary argument for the well known fact that the endomorphism algebra $En{d}_Q(A)$ of a simple complex abelian surface $A$ can neither be an imaginary quadratic field nor a definite quaternion algebra. Another consequence of our argument is that a two-dimensional complex torus $T$ with $Q(sqrtd)subseteqEn{d}_Q(A)$ where $Q(sqrtd)$ is real quadratic, is algebraic.

Review text

Lt \(A\) be a simple abelian surface defined over \(\mathbb{C}\). Then the endomorphism algebra \(\text{End}_\mathbb{Q}(A) =\text{End}(A) \otimes_\mathbb{Z}\mathbb{Q}\) is one of the following: \(\mathbb{Q}\), a real quadratic field, a CM-field of degree 4 over \(\mathbb{Q}\), an indefinite quaternion algebra. So, \(\text{End}_\mathbb{Q}(A)\) can neither be an imaginary quadratic field nor a definite quaternion algebra. The aim of this short note is to give an elementary proof of this fact. As a consequence one has that if \(T\) is a two-dimensional complex torus with \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt d)\hookrightarrow \text{End}_\mathbb{Q} (T)\) where \(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt d)\) is real quadratic, then \(T\) is algebraic.
