Abstract: Heuristics based on the Sato--Tate conjecture suggest that an abelian surface defined over a number field has infinitely many places of split reduction. We prove this result for abelian surfaces having real multiplication. Similar to Charles' theorem on exceptional isogeny of reductions of a given pair of elliptic curves and Elkies' theorem on supersingular reductions of a given elliptic curve, our theorem shows that a density-zero set of primes pertaining to the reduction of abelian varieties is infinite. The proof relies on the Arakelov intersection theory on Hilbert modular surfaces.
