An equivalent condition for abelian varieties over finite fields to have QM

Number Theory 2023-11-21 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we give an equivalent condition for an abelian variety over a finite field to have multiplication by a quaternion algebra over a number field. We prove the result by combining Tate's classification of the endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties over finite fields with Yu's criterion of the existence of homomorphisms between semi-simple algebras.
