On Characteristic Polynomials of Formal Groups over Finite Fields

Generalizing the results of Serre, Hill and Koch, we give some classification theorems of higher dimensional simple formal groups over finite fields. A relation between endomorphism rings of formal groups over ?_p and characteristic polynomials of their reductions mod p is studied. A condition of existence of formal groups over ?_p with complex multiplication is given. Some formal groups over ?_p are also constructed.
