Small degree isogenies between conjugate principally polarized superspecial abelian surfaces

Let $p>3$ be a prime number. We prove that every principally polarized superspecial abelian surface over $\mathbb{F}_{p^{2}}$ with $p^{2}$-Frobenius $[-p]$ admits a separable polarized isogeny to its Frobenius conjugate with multiplier at most $(p^{3}/2)^{1/5}$. This generalizes a recent result of Aubry, Oyono, and Vincent (2026, arXiV:2607.14624) who proved that every supersingular elliptic curve defined over $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_{p}$ admits an isogeny to its Frobenius conjugate with degree at most $(p/2)^{1/3}$.

Bottom of the Length Spectrum of Arithmetic Orbifolds

We prove that cocompact arithmetic lattices in a simple Lie group are uniformly discrete if and only if the Salem numbers are uniformly bounded away from $1$. We also prove an analogous result for semisimple Lie groups. Finally, we shed some light on the structure of the bottom of the length spectrum of an arithmetic orbifold $Γ\backslash X$ by showing the existence of a positive constant $δ(X)>0$ such that squares of lengths of closed geodesics shorter than $δ$ must be pairwise linearly dependent over $\mathbb Q$.
