Title
Bisection and squares in genus 2
Abstract
We show how to compute the pre-images of multiplication-by-2 in Jacobians of genus 2 curves C : y 2 = f ( x ) over F q with q odd. We characterize D = u ( x ) , v ( x ) ¿ 2 Jac ( C ) ( F q ) in terms of the quadratic character of u ( x ) at the roots of f ( x ) in imaginary models, and in terms of the quadratic character of the quotients of u ( x ) at pairs of roots of f ( x ) in real models. Our method reduces the problem to the computation of at most 5 square roots over the splitting field of f ( x ) plus the solution of a system of linear equations.
