Supersingular abelian surfaces and Eichler class number formula

Number Theory 2015-05-11 v3

Abstract

Let FF be a totally real field with ring of integers OFO_F, and DD be a totally definite quaternion algebra over FF. A well-known formula established by Eichler and then extended by K\"orner computes the class number of any OFO_F-order in DD. In this paper we generalize the Eichler class number formula so that it works for arbitrary Z\mathbb{Z}-orders in DD. The motivation is to count the isomorphism classes of supersingular abelian surfaces in a simple isogeny class over a prime finite field Fp\mathbb{F}_p. We give explicit formulas for the number of these isomorphism classes for all primes pp.
