Polarized superspecial abelian varieties over $\mathbb{F}_p$ via hermitian lattices
Abstract
We study the set of isomorphism classes of polarized superspecial abelian varieties $(A,\lambda)$ of a fixed dimension over $\mathbb{F}_p$ with Frobenius endomorphism $\pi_A=\sqrt{-p}$ and $\ker \lambda =\ker \pi_A$. This set plays an important role in the geometry of the supersingular locus, and the generalizations of Deuring's $2T-H$ Theorem by Ibukiyama and Katsura. We determine when this set is nonempty and classify its genera. Our method reduces the problems of superspecial abelian varieties to those of certain hermitian lattices by the lattice description established by Jordan et. al and Ibukiyama--Karemaker--Yu, and we treat these problems on the lattices concerned by arithmetic methods.
