Supersingular Primes

A supersingular elliptic curve is a genus 1 curve defined over a finite field with a particularly large endomorphism ring.
In this talk, I will discuss the definition and properties of supersingular elliptic curves and their higher dimensional generalizations.
In particular, for a fixed elliptic curve or higher dimensional abelian variety defined over Q, I will discuss the set of primes over which the reduction is supersingular.
