Abstract
We study genus 2 curves over finite fields of small characteristic. The -rank of a curve induces a stratification of the coarse moduli space of genus 2 curves up to isomorphism. We are interested in the size of those strata for all . In characteristic 2 and 3, previous results show that the supersingular stratum has size . We show that for , over the non-ordinary and ordinary strata are of size and , respectively. We give results found from computer calculations which suggest that these formulas hold for all and break down for .
