Abstract

Let KK be a field of characteristic different from 22, Kˉ\bar{K} its algebraic closure. Let n3n \ge 3 be an odd integer. Let f(x)f(x) and h(x)h(x) be degree nn polynomials with coefficients in KK and without repeated roots. Let us consider genus (n1)/2(n-1)/2 hyperelliptic curves Cf:y2=f(x)C_f: y^2=f(x) and Ch:y2=h(x)C_h: y^2=h(x), and their jacobians J(Cf)J(C_f) and J(Ch)J(C_h), which are (n1)/2(n-1)/2-dimensional abelian varieties defined over KK. Suppose that one of the polynomials is irreducible and the other splits completely over KK. We prove that if J(Cf)J(C_f) and J(Ch)J(C_h) are isogenous over Kˉ\bar{K} then there is an (odd) prime \ell dividing nn such that the endomorphism algebras of both J(Cf)J(C_f) and J(Ch)J(C_h) contain a subfield that is isomorphic to the field of \ellth roots of 11.
