Genus 2 curves whose Jacobian has good reduction away from 2
I've been on a quest to try to find as many genus 2 curves C/Q as I can, with the condition that the Jacobian of C/Q has good reduction away from 2! Whilst this is still work in progress, we've so far found 512 such curves (including 366 genus 2 curves good away from 2, found by SmartLink opens in a new window). We are indebted to the LMFDBLink opens in a new window for inspiring this project! Download links are given below:
genus2_good2.txt | A text file giving a list of polynomials f(x), which denotes a genus 2 curve given as a simplified model y2=f(x). |
genus2_good2_stats.txt | A text file where each line is in the format D:N:r:T:f(x):A:S. Here D is the absolute discriminant, N is the conductor, r is the rank, T is the torsion subgroup, f(x) a polynomial defining C, A is the automorphism group, and S is the Sato-Tate group. |
genus2_good2_stats.pdf | A pdf file giving a LaTeX formatted summary of the various invariants (minimal discriminant, conductor, rank, etc.) for each curve C/Q. For field systems, we adopt the same notation as given in SmartLink opens in a new window. |
genus2_good2_geometric_stats.pdf | A pdf file giving a LaTeX formatted summary of various invariants of the 67 ¯Q-isomorphism classes of the genus 2 curves found above (G2-invariants, geometric bad primes, geometric automorphism group, etc.). |
Furthermore, by including products of elliptic curves E/Q good outside 2, and Weil restrictions of elliptic curves over quadratic fields K good outside 2, we've found a total of 234 isogeny classes of abelian surfaces with good reduction away from 2.
A pdf file giving a LaTeX formatted summary of the various invariants (conductor, rank, endomorphism algebra, etc.) for each isogeny class of abelian surface A/Q found. | |
lfunctions2_good2.txt | A text file where each line is in the format N:r:[L2,L3,...,L97]:S:m:c. Here N is the conductor, r is the rank, L2,L3,…,L97 the first few Euler factors, m the number of known genus 2 curves C/Q whose Jacobian lies in this isogeny class, and the leading coefficient c of the L-function. |
For details on how these curves and all their invariants were computed, see Chapters 5 and 6 of my thesis. If you know of any examples of abelian surfaces good away from 2 not given in the above tables, then please let me know! In particular, if you can find any new genus 2 curve whose Jacobian has good reduction away from 2, you'll win £100 (subject to terms and conditions)!
