- We show that if $C$ is a supersingular genus-$2$ curve over an algebraically-closed field of characteristic $2$, then there are infinitely many Richelot isogenies starting from $C$. This is in contrast to what happens with non-supersingular curves in characteristic $2$, or to arbitrary curves in characteristic not $2$: In these situations, there are at most fifteen Richelot isogenies starting from a given genus-$2$ curve. More specifically, we show that if $C_1$ and $C_2$ are two arbitrary supersingular genus-$2$ curves over an algebraically-closed field of characteristic $2$, then there are exactly sixty Richelot isogenies from $C_1$ to $C_2$, unless either $C_1$ or $C_2$ is isomorphic to the curve $y^2 + y = x^5$. In that case, there are either twelve or four Richelot isogenies from $C_1$ to $C_2$, depending on whether $C_1$ is isomorphic to $C_2$. (Here we count Richelot isogenies up to isomorphism.) We give explicit constructions that produce all of the Richelot isogenies between two supersingular curves.
