Conjecture on the size of isogeny classes of abelian varieties over finite fields

Let N(W)N(W) be the open Newton stratum of Ag\mathcal{A}_{g} consisting of all abelian varieties whose Newton polygon is WW, and let AA be a principally polarized abelian variety in Ag\mathcal{A}_{g}. The central leaf through AA is the locus in N(W)N(W) of abelian varieties whose pp-divisible group is isomorphic to A[p]A[p^{\infty}]. The isogeny leaf through AA is a maximal irreducible subscheme of Ag\mathcal{A}_{g} consisting of abelian varieties AA' in N(W)N(W) such that AA' is isogenous to AA through an isogeny whose kernel is an iteration extension of the group scheme αp\alpha_p. Let dim(CL)\dim(CL) and dim(IL)\dim(IL) denote the dimensions of the central and isogeny leaves through AA, respectively.

Conjecture on isogeny class sizes. We have

N(qn,A)=qn(dim(CL)2+dim(IL))+o(1).N(q^{n},A)=q^{n\left(\frac{\dim(CL)}{2}+\dim(IL)\right)+o(1)}.

This conjecture proposes a general asymptotic formula for the size of the isogeny class of a principally polarized abelian variety over finite fields, in terms of the dimensions of its central and isogeny leaves. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
