Abstract: 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 algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, the p-exponents of the co-indices of their endomorphism rings are bounded. We also give a few applications to this finiteness result.

Review text

The endomorphism ring of an abelian variety over a field \(k\) is an order in a semisimple \(Q\)-algebra. The paper bounds the \(p\)-power in the index of this order in a maximal order, provided \(k\) has characteristic \(p\). The proof reduces to \(k\) algebraically closed and then the analogue for \(p\)-divisible groups (the analogue is false if \(k\) is not algebraically closed). Finally one applies Dieudonné theory. The author shows that the result is wrong for \(l\)-powers \((l\neq p)\), and determines for principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension two the stratification on the moduli space defined by the index.
