Abstract

We describe an efficient algorithm which, given a principally polarized (p.p.) abelian surface AA over Q\mathbb{Q} with geometric endomorphism ring equal to Z\mathbb{Z}, computes all the other p.p. abelian surfaces over Q\mathbb{Q} that are isogenous to AA. This algorithm relies on explicit open image techniques for Galois representations, and we employ a combination of analytic and algebraic methods to efficiently prove or disprove the existence of isogenies. We illustrate the practicality of our algorithm by applying it to 1 440 894 isogeny classes of Jacobians of genus 2 curves.
