The principal ideal problem for endomorphism rings of superspecial abelian varieties

본문 미리보기

We describe a Las Vegas algorithm for the principal ideal problem in matrix rings $M_g(O)$ for $g \geq 2$, over maximal orders $O$ in the rational quaternion algebra $B_{p, \infty}$ ramified at $\infty$ and a prime number $p$. Under plausible heuristic assumptions, the method has expected polynomial runtime. An implementation in SageMath shows that it runs very efficiently in practice, with compact output. Our main auxiliary result is a method for finding endomorphisms of superspecial abelian va
