... Alexey Zaytsev (Kaliningrad) . ... Let A be an abelian variety over a number field L with complex multiplication by the full ring of integers O_K for some CM field K. If A has a good reduction at a prime ideal S in L then A mod S is an abelian variety over a finite field of characteristic p. In this talk, we will study a correspondence between the decomposition of ideal pO_K into prime ideals (unramified case) and decomposition of the first truncated Barsotti-Tate group scheme (A mod S)[p]. ...
