Abstract

An abelian surface A/QA_{/{\mathbb Q}} of prime conductor NN is favorable if its 2-division field FF is an S5{\mathcal S}_5-extension with ramification index 5 over Q2{\mathbb Q}_2. Let AA be favorable and let BB be any semistable abelian variety of dimension 2d2d and conductor NdN^d such that B[2]B[2] is filtered by copies of A[2]A[2]. We give a sufficient class field theoretic criterion on FF to guarantee that BB is isogenous to AdA^d. As expected from our paramodular conjecture, we conclude that there is one isogeny class of abelian surfaces for each conductor in {277,349,461,797,971}\{277, 349,461,797,971\}. The general applicability of our criterion is discussed in the data section.
