On equations defining fake elliptic curves (Q2388608)

Given ``fake elliptic curves'' (i.e. principally polarized abelian surfaces with potential multiplication by quaternion algebras), it is a natural question to look for genus 2 algebraic curves whose Jacobians give rise to those abelian surfaces. The paper under review gives a method for computing such equations in the case where the fake elliptic curves also have complex multiplication. Those particular abelian surfaces are known to be isogenous to squares of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. As an illustration of the method, equations for curves whose Jacobians appear as special points on Shimura curves corresponding to quaternion algebra with discriminant 6, 10 and 15 are given.
