Let C be a smooth proper curve of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field k. Fix a Weierstrass point ∞in C(k) and identify C with its image in its Jacobian J under the Albanese embedding that uses ∞ as base point. For any integer N[ges ]1, we write JN for the group of points in J(k) of order dividing N and J*N for the subset of JN of points of order N. It follows from the Riemann–Roch theorem that C(k)∩J2 consists of the Weierstrass points of C and that C(k)∩J*3 and C(k)∩J* are empty (see [3]). The purpose of this paper is to study curves C with C(k)∩J*5 non-empty.
