On Curves over Finite Fields with Many Rational Points
نویسنده
چکیده
We study arithmetical and geometrical properties of maximal curves, that is, curves defined over the finite field Fq2 whose number of Fq2 -rational points reachs the Hasse-Weil upper bound. Under a hypothesis on non-gaps at rational points we prove that maximal curves are Fq2 -isomorphic to y q + y = x for some m ∈ Z.

On the maximum number of rational points on singular curves over finite fields
We give a construction of singular curves with many rational points over finite fields. This construction enables us to prove some results on the maximum number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over Fq of geometric genus g and arithmetic genus π.
متن کاملOn the number of rational points on curves over finite fields with many automorphisms
Using Weil descent, we give bounds for the number of rational points on two families of curves over finite fields with a large abelian group of automorphisms: Artin-Schreier curves of the form y−y = f(x) with f ∈ Fqr [x], on which the additive group Fq acts, and Kummer curves of the form y q−1 e = f(x), which have an action of the multiplicative group Fq . In both cases we can remove a √ q fact...
متن کاملLooking for Rational Curves on Cubic Hypersurfaces
The aim of these lectures is to study rational points and rational curves on varieties, mainly over finite fields Fq. We concentrate on hypersurfaces Xn of degree ≤ n+ 1 in Pn+1, especially on cubic hypersurfaces. The theorem of Chevalley–Warning (cf. Esnault’s lectures) guarantees rational points on low degree hypersurfaces over finite fields. That is, if X ⊂ Pn+1 is a hypersurface of degree ≤...
متن کاملRay Class Fields of Global Function Fields with Many Rational Places
A general type of ray class fields of global function fields is investigated. Their systematic computation leads to new examples of curves over finite fields with many rational points compared to their genera.
متن کاملSymmetry, splitting rational places in extensions of function fields and generalization of the Hermitian function field
Let F/K be an algebraic function field in one variable over a finite field of constants K, i.e., F is a finite algebraic extension of K(x) where x ∈ F is transcendental over K. Let E be a finite separable extension of F . Let N(E) and g(E) denote the number of places of degree one (or rational places), and the genus, respectively, of E. Let [E : F ] denote the degree of this extension. In recen...
