Jacobian decomposition conjecture for elementary abelian actions

From papers

Let p2p\geqslant 2 be a prime number and let (S,N)(S,N) be a Zpm\mathbb{Z}_p^m-action of signature (0;pn+1)(0;p^{n+1}), where 2mn12\leqslant m\leqslant n-1. For each subgroup LNL\leqslant N with LZpm1L\cong\mathbb{Z}_p^{m-1}, let SLS_L denote the underlying Riemann surface of the orbifold quotient S/LS/L. Jacobian decomposition conjecture. The Jacobian variety of SS is isogenous to the product of the Jacobian varieties of these quotient surfaces:

JSLLJSL,L={LN:LZpm1}.JS\sim\prod_{L\in\mathscr{L}}JS_L,\qquad \mathscr{L}=\{L\leqslant N:L\cong\mathbb{Z}_p^{m-1}\}.

This conjecture proposes an isogeny decomposition of the Jacobian associated with a Zpm\mathbb{Z}_p^m-action, extending the decomposition obtained from generalized Fermat pairs and the relation between the Jacobians of a covering surface and its quotient. The supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
