Description
Let A be an abelian variety over a finite field. Liftable endomorphisms of A act on the deformation space. In the ordinary case there's a canonical way of lifting Frobenius. We will show, that the action of Frobenius has a unique fixpoint, the canonical lift. A proof will be given in terms of Barsotti-Tate groups using the Serre-Tate theorem. Drinfeld's proof of this theorem will be sketched (see [1]). It will be explained how to make the above action explicit for elliptic curves. In characterictic 2 one can describe the action by the AGM (arithmetic geometric mean) sequence.

Endomorphisms via Splittings
Orateur : Min-Yi Shen - No Affiliation
One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]-
