Abstract
Let be a curve of genus 2 and a map of degree , from to an elliptic curve , both curves defined over . This map induces a degree map which we call a Frey-Kani covering. We determine all possible ramifications for . If is maximal then there exists a maximal map , of degree , to some elliptic curve such that there is an isogeny of degree from the Jacobian to . We say that is -decomposable. If the degree is odd the pair is canonically determined. For , and 7, we give arithmetic examples of curves whose Jacobians are -decomposable.
