Decompositions of an Abelian surface and quadratic forms
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 61 (2011) no. 2, pp. 717-743.

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.

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.
