Abstract

Let [X, λ] be a principally polarized abelian variety over a finite field with commutative endomorphism ring; further suppose that either X is ordinary or the field is prime. Motivated by an equidistribution heuristic, we introduce a factor νv([X, λ]) for each place v of Q, and show that the product of these factors essentially computes the size of the isogeny class of [X, λ]. The derivation of this mass formula depends on a formula of Kottwitz and on analysis of measures on the group of symplectic similitudes and, in particular, does not rely on a calculation of class numbers.
