Cryptosystems based on supersingular isogenies have been proposed recently for use in post-quantum cryptography. Three problems have emerged related to their hardness: computing an isogeny between two curves, computing the endomorphism ring of a curve, and computing a maximal order associated to it. While some of these problems are believed to be polynomial-time equivalent based on heuristics, ...

— We study Galois properties of points of prime order on an abelian variety that imply the simplicity of its endomorphism algebra. Applications of these properties to hyperelliptic jacobians are discussed. Résumé (Homomorphismes des variétés abéliennes). — Nous étudions les propriétés galoisiennes des points d’ordre fini des variétés abéliennes qui impliquent la simplicité de leur algèbre d’end...

We study the endomorphism algebras of Verma modules for rational Cherednik algebras at t = 0. It is shown that, in many cases, these endomorphism algebras are quotients of the centre of the rational Cherednik algebra. Geometrically, they define Lagrangian subvarieties of the generalized Calogero–Moser space. In the introduction, we motivate our results by describing them in the context of deriv...

We prove that the mass endomorphism associated to the Dirac operator on a Riemannian manifold is non-zero for generic Riemannian metrics. The proof involves a study of the mass endomorphism under surgery, its behavior near metrics with harmonic spinors, and analytic perturbation arguments.

In this paper we study the reflexive subobject lattices and reflexive endomorphism algebras in a concrete category. For the category Set of sets and mappings, a complete characterization for both reflexive subobject lattices and reflexive endomorphism algebras is obtained. Some partial results are also proved for the category of abelian groups.

For a complex abelian surface A with endomorphism ring isomorphic to the maximal order in a quartic CM-field K, the Igusa invariants j1(A), j2(A), j3(A) generate an unramified abelian extension of the reflex field of K. In this paper we give an explicit geometric description of the Galois action of the class group of this reflex field on j1(A), j2(A), j3(A). Our description can be expressed by ...
