This is (mostly) a survey article. We use an information about Galois properties of points of small order on an abelian variety in order to describe its endomorphism algebra over an algebraic closure of the ground field. We discuss in…

The endomorphism ring End(A) of an abelian variety A is an order in a semi-simple algebra over Q. The co-index of End(A) is the index to a maximal order containing it. We show that for abelian varieties of fixed dimension over any…

In this paper we improve our previous results on classification of groups of points on abelian varieties over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $k$-isogeny class.

We study the special fibers of a certain class of absolutely simple abelian varieties over number fields with endomorphism rings $\bz$ and possessing $l$-adic monodromy groups of the least possible rank. We also study the Dirichlet density…

An automorphism of an abelian variety induces a decomposition of the variety up to isogeny. There are two such results, namely the isotypical decomposition and Roan's decomposition theorem. We show that they are essentially the same.…

This is an expository article on the theory of formal group laws in homotopy theory, with the goal of leading to the connection with higher-dimensional abelian varieties and automorphic forms. These are roughly based on a talk at the…

We study Galois representations attached to nonsimple abelian varieties over finitely generated fields of arbitrary characteristic. We give sufficient conditions for such representations to decompose as a product, and apply them to prove…

Using properties of the Frobenius eigenvalues, we show that, in a precise sense, ``most'' isomorphism classes of (principally polarized) simple abelian varieties over a finite field are characterized up to isogeny by the sequence of their…

We study the isogenies of certain abelian varieties over finite fields with non-commutative endomorphism algebras with a view to potential use in isogeny-based cryptography. In particular, we show that any two such abelian varieties with…

We present new criteria that obstruct an isogeny class of abelian varieties over a finite field with a given Weil polynomial from containing a Jacobian of a genus-3 hyperelliptic curve. Based on our analysis of the Weil polynomials of…

We discuss Galois properties of points of prime order on an abelian variety that imply the simplicity of its endomorphism algebra. Applications to hyperelliptic jacobians are given. In particular, we improve some of our earlier results.

We construct non-isogenous simple ordinary abelian varieties over an algebraic closure of a finite field with isomorphic endomorphism algebras.

We describe all polarizations for all abelian varieties over a finite field in a fixed isogeny class corresponding to a squarefree Weil polynomial, when one variety in the isogeny class admits a canonical liftings to characteristic zero,…

Let $k$ be a field, $A$ a finite $k$-algebra and $X$ a smooth $A$-scheme. We describe the Galois set of connected components of the Weil restriction $\Re_{A/k}(X)$ in terms of the sets of connected components of the geometric fibers of $X$.

We give a categorical description of all abelian varieties with commutative endomorphism ring over a finite field with $q=p^a$ elements in a fixed isogeny class in terms of pairs consisting of a fractional $\mathbb Z[\pi,q/\pi]$-ideal and a…

In this note we show that any basic abelian variety with additional structures over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is isogenous to another one defined over a finite field. We also show that the category of…

The aim of this paper is to extend our old results about Galois action on the torsion points of abelian varieties to the case of (finitely generated) fields of characteristic 2.

Let $K$ be a field, $L$ a finite Galois extension of $K$, and $X$ an abelian variety defined over $L$. If $X$ is isogenous over $L$ to an abelian variety defined over $K$, then the $\ell$-adic Galois representations associated to $X$ extend…

We explain how the Riemann-Roch theorem for divisors on an abelian variety $A$ is related to the reduced norms of the Wedderburn components of $\operatorname{End}^0(A)$ the $\mathbb{Q}$-endomorphism algebra of $A$. We then describe…

Consider an absolutely simple abelian variety A defined over a number field K. For most places v of K, we study how the reduction A_v of A modulo v splits up to isogeny. Assuming the Mumford-Tate conjecture for A and possibly increasing K,…
