Decompositions of singular abelian surfaces

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:1741607)



Abstract: Given an abelian surface, the number of its distinct decompositions into a product of elliptic curves has been described by Ma. Moreover, Ma himself classified the possible decompositions for abelian surfaces of Picard number 1leqholeq3. We explicitly find all such decompositions in the case of abelian surfaces of Picard number ho=4. This is done by computing the transcendental lattice of products of isogenous elliptic curves with complex multiplication, generalizing a technique of Shioda and Mitani, and by studying the action of a certain class group on the factors of a given decomposition. We also provide an alternative and simpler proof of Ma's formula, and an application to singular K3 surfaces.
