Equations defining reducible Kummer surfaces in ℙ⁵

Tomasz Szemberg (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Principally polarized abelian surfaces are the Jacobians of smooth genus 2 curves or of stable genus 2 curves of special type. In [S] we studied equations describing Kummer surfaces in the case of an irreducible principal polarization on the abelian surface. The aim of this note is to give a treatment of the second case. We describe intermediate Kummer surfaces coming from abelian surfaces carrying a product principal polarization. In Proposition 12 we give explicit equations of these...

Descent via (3,3)-isogeny on Jacobians of genus 2 curves

Nils Bruin, E. Victor Flynn, Damiano Testa (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We give a parametrization of curves C of genus 2 with a maximal isotropic (ℤ/3)² in J[3], where J is the Jacobian variety of C, and develop the theory required to perform descent via (3,3)-isogeny. We apply this to several examples, where it is shown that non-reducible Jacobians have non-trivial 3-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.
