Abstract

The paper discusses geometric and computational aspects associated with (n,n)(n,n)-isogenies for principally polarized Abelian surfaces and related Kummer surfaces. We start by reviewing the comprehensive Theta function framework for classifying genus-two curves, their principally polarized Jacobians, as well as for establishing explicit quartic normal forms for associated Kummer surfaces. This framework is then used for practical isogeny computations. A particular focus of the discussion is the (n,n)(n,n)-Split isogeny case. We also explore possible extensions of Richelot's (2,2)(2,2)-isogenies to higher order cases, with a view towards developing efficient isogeny computation algorithms.
