Abstract We describe a probability distribution on isomorphism classes of principally quasi-polarized $p$-divisible groups over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$ which can reasonably be thought of as a ‘uniform distribution’, and we compute the distribution of various statistics ($p$-corank, $a$-number, etc.) of $p$-divisible groups drawn from this distribution. It is then natural to ask to what extent the $p$-divisible groups attached to a randomly chosen hyperelliptic curve… Expand

Proportion of ordinarity in some families of curves over finite fields
A curve over a field of characteristic $p$ is called ordinary if the $p$-torsion of its Jacobian as large as possible, that is, an $\mathbb{F}_p$ vector space of dimension equal to its genus. In thisExpand

Curves in characteristic 2 with non-trivial 2-torsion

This paper extends the observation ofais, Ellenberg and Zureick-Brown that over finite fields of characteristic two, all sufficiently general smooth plane projective curves of a given odd degree admit a non-trivial rational $2-torsion point on their Jacobian to curves given by Laurent polynomials with a fixed Newton polygon.
