CM-liftability of simple superspecial abelian surfaces over prime fields
Abstract
For any prime $p>0$, we prove that simple superspecial abelian surfaces over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ admit CM liftings, by using the residual reflex condition (RRC) and Lie types. The CM-liftability of ordinary simple abelian surfaces is proved by Serre-Tate, and the CM-liftability of almost ordinary simple abelian surfaces is proved by Oswal-Shankar and Bergström-Karemaker-Marseglia, respectively. As there can only be ordinary, almost ordinary, or supersingular simple abelian surfaces over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$, our work is another step to complete the CM-liftability of simple abelian surfaces over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$.
