ABSTRACT
In this note we show that every supersingular abelian variety is isogenous to a superspecial abelian variety without increasing field extensions. The proof uses minimal isogenies and Galois descent. We construct a superspecial abelian variety which cannot be descended to a finite field. This answers negatively to a question of the author in [J. Pure Appl. Alg., 2013]. Endomorphism algebras of supersingular elliptic curves over an arbitrary field are investigated. We correct the main result of the author's paper [Math. Res. Let., 2010].
