Fixed points and entropy of endomorphisms on simple abelian varieties (Q1989811)

Let \(A\) be a complex simple abelian variety and \(f\) an endomorphism of \(A\). Assume that the endomorphism algebra \(\mathrm{End}_\mathbb{Q}(A)\) of \(A\) is isomorphic to a totally real number field, a definite quaternion algebra or a CM-field. In the paper under review, the author gives a criteria for the asymptotic behaviour of the fixed-points function \(n\mapsto\sharp\text{Fix}(f^n)\) in terms of the possible types of \(\mathrm{End}_\mathbb{Q}(A)\). Such a criteria in two dimensional case (without the assumption on \(\mathrm{End}_\mathbb{Q}(A)\)) has been obtained in a previous paper by \textit{T. Bauer} and the author [J. Algebra 458, 351--363 (2016; Zbl 1346.14002)]. The author also gives a criteria for the entropy \(\log(\lambda)\) of \(f\) to be positive and shows that the number \(\lambda\) is contained in the normal closure of the maximal totally real subfield of \(\mathrm{End}_\mathbb{Q}(A)\).
