Abstract

Let qq be an odd power of a prime pNp\in \mathbb{N}, and PPSP(q)\mathrm{PPSP}(\sqrt{q}) be the finite set of isomorphism classes of principally polarized superspecial abelian surfaces in the simple isogeny class over Fq\mathbb{F}_q corresponding to the real Weil qq-numbers ±q\pm \sqrt{q}. We produce explicit formulas for PPSP(q)\mathrm{PPSP}(\sqrt{q}) of the following kinds: (i) the class number formula, i.e.~the cardinality of PPSP(q)\mathrm{PPSP}(\sqrt{q}); (ii) the type number formula, i.e. the number of endomorphism rings up to isomorphism of the underlying abelian surfaces of PPSP(q)\mathrm{PPSP}(\sqrt{q}). Similar formulas are obtained for other collections of polarized superspecial members of this isogeny class grouped together according to their polarization modules. We observe several surprising identities involving the arithmetic genus of certain Hilbert modular surface on one side and the class number or type number of (P,P+)(P, P_+)-polarized superspecial abelian surfaces in this isogeny class on the other side.
