We will discuss computable descriptions of isomorphism classes in a fixed isogeny class of both polarised abelian varieties over finite fields (joint work with Bergström-Marseglia) and Drinfeld modules over finite fields (joint work with Katen-Papikian).

 

More precisely, in the first part of the talk we will describe all polarisations of all abelian varieties over a finite field in a fixed isogeny class corresponding to a squarefree Weil polynomial, when one variety in the isogeny class admits a canonical lifting to characteristic zero. The computability of the description relies on applying categorical equivalences, due to Deligne and Centeleghe-Stix, between abelian varieties over finite fields and fractional ideals in étale algebras.

 

In the second part, we will use an action of fractional ideals, inspired by work of Hayes, to compute isomorphism classes of Drinfeld modules. As a first step and a problem of independent interest, we prove that an isogeny class contains a Drinfeld module whose endomorphism ring is minimal if and only if the class is either ordinary or defined over the prime field. We obtain full descriptions in these cases, that can be compared to the Drinfeld analogues of those of Deligne and Centeleghe-Stix, respectively.
