Our proof here is quite simple and short, and neither $p$-adic Hodge theory nor model theory is used. The observation is that a power of a lift of the Frobenius element at a supersingular prime acts on the prime-to-$p$ torsion points via nontrivial homothety.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-11-12T16:25:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14K12", "11G10", "14G15" ], "keywords": [ "abelian variety", "supersingular reduction", "manin-mumford conjecture", "adic hodge theory", "supersingular prime acts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....11291I" } } }
