Abstract

We study the Siegel modular variety AgFp\mathcal{A}_g \otimes \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p of genus gg and its supersingular locus Sg\mathcal{S}_g. As our main result we determine precisely when Sg\mathcal{S}_g is irreducible, and we list all xx in AgFp\mathcal{A}_g \otimes \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p for which the corresponding central leaf C(x)\mathcal{C}(x) consists of one point, that is, for which xx corresponds to a polarised abelian variety which is uniquely determined by its associated polarised pp-divisible group. The first problem translates to a class number one problem for quaternion Hermitian lattices. The second problem also translates to a class number one problem, whose solution involves mass formulae, automorphism groups, and a careful analysis of Ekedahl-Oort strata in genus g=4g=4.
