Abstract

An embedding of the Jacobian variety of a curve of genus 2 is given, together with an explicit set of defining equations. A pair of local parameters is chosen, for which the induced formal group is defined over the same ring as the coefficients of . It is not assumed that has a rational Weierstrass point, and the theory presented applies over an arbitrary ground field (of characteristic ╪ 2, 3, or 5).
