Abstract

Let B(g,p)B(g,p) denote the number of isomorphism classes of gg-dimensional abelian varieties over the finite field of size p.p. Let A(g,p)A(g,p) denote the number of isomorphism classes of principally polarized gg dimensional abelian varieties over the finite field of size p.p. We derive upper bounds for B(g,p)B(g,p) and lower bounds for A(g,p)A(g,p) for pp fixed and gg increasing. The extremely large gap between the lower bound for A(g,p)A(g,p) and the upper bound B(g,p)B(g,p) implies some statistically counterintuitive behavior for abelian varieties of large dimension over a fixed finite field.
