We produce partial results for abelian varieties over a general finite field $\\mathbb{F}_q$. In particular, we show that certain abelian groups cannot occur as groups of rational points of abelian varieties over $\\mathbb{F}_q$ when $q$ is large. Finally, we show that every finite cyclic group arises as the group of rational points of infinitely many simple abelian varieties over $\\mathbb{F}_2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2021-08-25T14:35:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14K15", "14G15", "11G10" ], "keywords": [ "finite abelian group", "ordinary abelian variety", "rational points", "finite cyclic group arises", "simple abelian varieties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
