Distribution of supersingular primes for abelian surfaces

Abstract

Let A/KA/K be an absolutely simple abelian surface defined over a number field KK. We give unconditional upper bounds for the number of prime ideals p\mathfrak{p} of KK with norm up to xx such that AA has supersingular reduction at p\mathfrak{p}. These bounds are obtained in three distinct settings, depending on the endomorphism algebra of AA, namely, the case of trivial endomorphisms, real multiplication (RM), and quaternion multiplication (QM). In the RM case and when K=QK=\mathbb{Q}, our results further implies an unconditional upper bound on the distribution of Frobenius traces of AA. Furthermore, in the RM setting, we study the distribution of the middle coefficients of Frobenius polynomials of AA at primes where the reduction of AA splits.
