Abstract

We prove that for every positive integer mm, there exist infinitely many simple abelian varieties over F2\mathbb{F}_2 of order mm. The method is constructive, building on the work of Madan--Pal in the case m=1m=1 to produce an explicit sequence of Weil polynomials giving rise to abelian varieties over F2\mathbb{F}_2 of order mm. This sequence itself depends on the choice of a suitable generalized binary representation of mm; by making careful choices of this representation, we can ensure that the the resulting sequence of polynomials have 2-adic Newton polygons which guarantee the existence of suitable irreducible factors.
