Oort's conjecture on automorphisms of supersingular abelian varieties

Let kk be a field of characteristic p>0p>0, let EE be a supersingular elliptic curve over kk, and for g2g\geq 2 let Ag\mathcal{A}_g denote the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension gg over Fp\mathbb{F}_p. Let SgAg\mathcal{S}_g\subseteq\mathcal{A}_g be the closed supersingular locus. An automorphism means a geometric automorphism. Oort's conjecture. For any g2g\geq 2 and a prime number p>0p>0, every component of the supersingular locus SgAg\mathcal{S}_g\subseteq\mathcal{A}_g has generic automorphism group {±1}\{\pm1\}. This conjecture concerns the generic automorphisms of components of supersingular loci; the paper proves it for g=4g=4 and p>2p>2, and gives a new proof for g=3g=3 and p>2p>2, while the general statement remains open.
