✦ Synopsis
Let A be a supersingular abelian variety over a finite field k which is k-isogenous to a power of a simple abelian variety over k. Write the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius endomorphism of A relative to k as f = g e for a monic irreducible polynomial g and a positive integer e. We show that the group of k-rational points A(k) on A is isomorphic to (ZÂg(1) Z) e unless A's simple component is of dimension 1 or 2, in which case we prove that A(k) is isomorphic to (ZÂg(1) Z) a _ (ZÂ( g(1)Â2) Z_ZÂ2Z) b for some non-negative integers a, b with a+b=e. In particular, if the characteristic of k is 2 or A is simple of dimension greater than 2, then A(k)$(ZÂg(1) Z) e .

In this paper we study the characteristic polynomials and the rational point group structure of supersingular varieties of dimension two over finite fields. Meanwhile, we also list all L-functions of supersingular curves of genus two over ކ 2 and determine the group structure of their divisor clas

Let A be a finite abelian group such that there is an elliptic curve defined over a finite field F q with E(F q )$A. We will determine the possible group structures E(F q k) as E varies over all elliptic curves defined over F q with E(F q )$A.
