Abstract

An abelian surface $A_{∕ ℚ}$ of prime conductor $N$ is favorable if its 2-division field $F$ is an $S_{5}$ -extension over $ℚ$ with ramification index 5 over $ℚ_{2}$ . Let $A$ be favorable and let $B$ be a semistable abelian variety of dimension $2 d$ and conductor $N^{d}$ with $B [2]$ filtered by copies of $A [2]$ . We give a sufficient class field theoretic criterion on $F$ to guarantee that $B$ is isogenous to $A^{d}$ .

As expected from our paramodular conjecture, we conclude that there is one isogeny class of abelian surfaces for each conductor in ${277, 349, 461, 797, 971}$ . The general applicability of our criterion is discussed in the data section.
