Decompositions of an Abelian surface and quadratic forms
[Décompositions d’une surface abélienne et formes quadratiques]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 61 (2011) no. 2, pp. 717-743.

Quand une surface abélienne complexe admet une décomposition en produit de deux courbes elliptiques, combien y a-t-il de telles décompositions possibles ? Nous donnons des formules arithmétiques pour le nombre de telles décompositions.

When a complex Abelian surface can be decomposed into a product of two elliptic curves, how many decompositions does the Abelian surface admit? We provide arithmetic formulae for the number of such decompositions.
