Abstract

Let AA be an absolutely simple abelian surface defined over a number field KK with a commutative (geometric) endomorphism ring. Let πA,split(x)\pi_{A, \text{split}}(x) denote the number of primes p\mathfrak{p} in KK such that each prime has norm bounded by xx, of good reduction for AA, and the reduction of AA at p\mathfrak{p} splits. It is known that the density of such primes is zero. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions and possibly extending the field KK, we prove that πA,split(x)A,Kx4142logx\pi_{A, \text{split}}(x) \ll_{A, K} x^{\frac{41}{42}}\log x if the endomorphism ring of AA is trivial; πA,split(x)A,F,Kx1112(logx)23\pi_{A, \text{split}}(x) \ll_{A, F, K} \frac{x^{\frac{11}{12}}}{(\log x)^{\frac{2}{3}}} if AA has real multiplication by a real quadratic field FF; πA,split(x)A,F,Kx23(logx)13\pi_{A, \text{split}}(x) \ll_{A, F, K} x^{\frac{2}{3}}(\log x)^{\frac{1}{3}} if AA has complex multiplication by a CM field FF. These results improve the bounds by J. Achter in 2012 and D. Zywina in 2014. We also provide better bounds under other credible conjectures.
