We briefly explain these methods and then illustrate them for abelian varieties A of arbitrary dimension g in several important cases, including when A has p-rank f and a-number 1 and when A has p-rank f and a-number g-f. We provide complete tables for abelian varieties of dimension up to four.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-09-22T23:11:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G10", "14K10" ], "keywords": [ "short guide", "characteristic", "principally polarized abelian variety", "arbitrary dimension", "important cases" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......9658P" } } }
