Dec 11, 2012 at 7:28 comment added user29720 @unknown: reference for which? I mentioned a couple of things.
Dec 11, 2012 at 6:53 comment added user565739 @kreck, I felt strange that it is written that "...be a quaternion algebra over a quadratic field...". It is good to know that it contains an imaginary quadratic field and the theorem Tate proved. Could you give the reference for it. Thank you very much.
Dec 11, 2012 at 6:43 comment added user29720 @stankewicz: Tate proved that abelian varieties over finite fields always have complex multiplication over the ground field (in the sense of the endomorphism algebra over the ground field containing a CM algebra of rank twice the dimension, where "CM algebra" means "product of CM fields"). @unknown: That link is wrong: the endomorphism algebra of a ss elliptic curve over an alg. closed field is of rank at most 4, so it cannot be a quaternion algebra over a quadratic field. It is just a quaternion algebra over $\mathbf{Q}$ and contains an imaginary quadratic field (even infinitely many).
