AUTHORS:
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: (From Liu’s website:) Many thanks to Henri Cohen who started writing this program. After this program is available, many people pointed out to me (mathematical as well as programming) bugs : B. Poonen, E. Schaefer, C. Stahlke, M. Stoll, F. Villegas. So thanks to all of them. Thanks also go to Ph. Depouilly who help me to compile the program.
Also Liu has given me explicit permission to include genus2reduction with Sage and for people to modify the C source code however they want.

Conductor and Reduction Types for Genus 2 Curves.
Use R = genus2reduction(Q, P) to obtain reduction information about the Jacobian of the projective smooth curve defined by . Type R? for further documentation and a description of how to interpret the local reduction data.
EXAMPLES:
sage: x = QQ['x'].0
sage: R = genus2reduction(x^3 - 2*x^2 - 2*x + 1, -5*x^5)
sage: R.conductor

sage: factor(R.conductor)
5^4 * 2267
This means that only the odd part of the conductor is known.

y^2 = x^6 + 3*x^3 + 63
A Minimal Equation (away from 2):
y^2 = x^6 + 3*x^3 + 63

In the above example, Liu remarks that in fact at , the reduction is [II-II-0] page 163, (1), . So the conductor of J(C) is actually .
A MODULAR CURVE:
Consider the modular curve defined by an equation
We have:
sage: genus2reduction(x^3-x^2-1, x^2 - x)
Reduction data about this proper smooth genus 2 curve:
y^2 + (x^3 - x^2 - 1)*y = x^2 - x
A Minimal Equation (away from 2):
y^2 = x^6 + 58*x^5 + 1401*x^4 + 18038*x^3 + 130546*x^2 + 503516*x + 808561
Minimal Discriminant (away from 2): 169
Conductor: 169
Local Data:
p=13
(potential) stable reduction: (V), j1+j2=0, j1*j2=0
reduction at p: [I{0}-II-0] page 159, (1), f=2
So the curve has good reduction at 2. At , the stable reduction is union of two elliptic curves, and both of them have 0 as modular invariant. The reduction at 13 is of type [I_0-II-0] (see Namikawa-Ueno, page 159). It is an elliptic curve with a cusp. The group of connected components of the Neron model of is trivial, and the exponent of the conductor of at is . The conductor of is . (Note: It is a theorem of Conrad-Edixhoven-Stein that the component group of is trivial for all primes .)

Reduction data for a genus 2 curve.
How to read local_data attribute, i.e., if this class is R, then the following is the meaning of R.local_data[p].
For each prime number dividing the discriminant of , there are two lines.
The first line contains information about the stable reduction after field extension. Here are the meanings of the symbols of stable reduction :
(I) The stable reduction is smooth (i.e. the curve has potentially good reduction).
(II) The stable reduction is an elliptic curve with an ordinary double point. mod is the modular invariant of .
(III) The stable reduction is a projective line with two ordinary double points.
(IV) The stable reduction is two projective lines crossing transversally at three points.
(V) The stable reduction is the union of two elliptic curves and intersecting transversally at one point. Let , be their modular invariants, then and are computed (they are numbers mod ).
(VI) The stable reduction is the union of an elliptic curve and a projective line which has an ordinary double point. These two components intersect transversally at one point. mod is the modular invariant of .
(VII) The stable reduction is as above, but the two components are both singular.
In the cases (I) and (V), the Jacobian has potentially good reduction. In the cases (III), (IV) and (VII), has potentially multiplicative reduction. In the two remaining cases, the (potential) semi-abelian reduction of is extension of an elliptic curve (with modular invariant mod ) by a torus.
The second line contains three data concerning the reduction at without any field extension.
The first symbol describes the REDUCTION AT of . We use the symbols of Namikawa-Ueno for the type of the reduction (Namikawa, Ueno:”The complete classification of fibers in pencils of curves of genus two”, Manuscripta Math., vol. 9, (1973), pages 143-186.) The reduction symbol is followed by the corresponding page number (or just an indiction) in the above article. The lower index is printed by , for instance, [I2-II-5] means [I_2-II-5]. Note that if and are Kodaira symbols for singular fibers of elliptic curves, [K-K’-m] and [K’-K-m] are the same type. Finally, [K-K’-1] (not the same as [K-K’-1]) is [K’-K-alpha] in the notation of Namikawa-Ueno. The figure [2I_0-m] in Namikawa-Ueno, page 159 must be denoted by [2I_0-(m+1)].
The second datum is the GROUP OF CONNECTED COMPONENTS (over an ALGEBRAIC CLOSURE (!) of ) of the Neron model of J(C). The symbol (n) means the cyclic group with n elements. When n=0, (0) is the trivial group (1). Hn is isomorphic to (2)x(2) if n is even and to (4) otherwise.
Note - The set of rational points of can be computed using Theorem 1.17 in S. Bosch and Q. Liu “Rational points of the group of components of a Neron model”, Manuscripta Math. 98 (1999), 275-293.
Finally, is the exponent of the conductor of at .
Warning
Be careful regarding the formula:
(Q. Liu : “Conducteur et discriminant minimal de courbes de genre 2”, Compositio Math. 94 (1994) 51-79, Theoreme 2) is valid only if the residual field is algebraically closed as stated in the paper. So this equality does not hold in general over . The fact is that the minimal discriminant may change after unramified extension. One can show however that, at worst, the change will stabilize after a quadratic unramified extension (Q. Liu : “Modeles entiers de courbes hyperelliptiques sur un corps de valuation discrete”, Trans. AMS 348 (1996), 4577-4610, Section 7.2, Proposition 4).
