Realization of all genus 2 reduction types over the rationals
Realization of all genus 2 reduction types over the rationals
Let be a genus curve defined over , and consider the 54 reduction types in the genus classification.
Realization conjecture. All 54 reduction types of the genus classification are realised over .
The classification currently has 53 of its 54 cases realised by genus curves over of conductor at most ; the missing case is (D21). The conjecture predicts that a curve of type (D21) exists over , presumably with larger conductor.
