Examples of non-simple abelian surfaces over the rationals with   non-square order Tate-Shafarevich group
  Let A be an abelian surface over a fixed number field. If A is principally polarised, then it is known that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of A must, if finite, be a square or twice a square. The situation for A not principally polarised remains unclear. For each k in {1,2,3,5,6,7,10,13} we construct a non-simple non-principally polarised abelian surface over the rationals whose Tate-Shafarevich group has order k times a square. To obtain this result, we explore the invariance under isogeny of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.
