On the existence of abelian surfaces with everywhere good reduction (1903.10394v1)

Abstract: Let $D \le 2000$ be a positive discriminant such that $F = \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ has narrow class one, and $A/F$ an abelian surface of ${\rm GL}2$-type with everywhere good reduction. Assuming that $A$ is modular, we show that $A$ is either an $F$-surface or is a base change from $\mathbf{Q}$ of an abelian surface $B$ such that ${\rm End}{\mathbf{Q}}(B) = \mathbf{Z}$, except for $D = 353, 421, 1321, 1597$ and $1997$. In the latter case, we show that there are indeed abelian surfaces with everywhere good reduction over $F$ for $D = 353, 421$ and $1597$, which are non-isogenous to their Galois conjugates. These are the first known such examples.
