Explicit Descent for Jacobians of Cyclic Covers of the Projective Line

چکیده
We develop a general method for bounding Mordell-Weil ranks of Jacobians of arbitrary curves of the form y = f(x). As an example, we compute the Mordell-Weil ranks over Q and Q( √ −3) for a non-hyperelliptic curve of genus 8.

A descent method for explicit computations on curves
It is shown that the knowledge of a surjective morphism $Xto Y$ of complex curves can be effectively used to make explicit calculations. The method is demonstrated by the calculation of $j(ntau)$ (for some small $n$) in terms of $j(tau)$ for the elliptic curve with period lattice $(1,tau)$, the period matrix for the Jacobian of a family of genus-$2$ curves complementing the classi...
متن کاملA Free Line Search Steepest Descent Method for Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems
In this paper, we solve unconstrained optimization problem using a free line search steepest descent method. First, we propose a double parameter scaled quasi Newton formula for calculating an approximation of the Hessian matrix. The approximation obtained from this formula is a positive definite matrix that is satisfied in the standard secant relation. We also show that the largest eigen value...
متن کاملCyclic Covers of the Projective Line, Their Jacobians and Endomorphisms
ζp ∈ C. Let Q(ζp) be the pth cyclotomic field. It is well-known that Q(ζp) is a CM-field. If p is a Fermat prime then the only CM-subfield of Q(ζp) is Q(ζp) itself, since the Galois group of Q(ζp)/Q is a cyclic 2-group, whose only element of order 2 acts as the complex conjugation. All other subfields of Q(ζp) are totally real. Let f(x) ∈ C[x] be a polynomial of degree n ≥ 5 without multiple ro...
متن کاملField of moduli versus field of definition for cyclic covers of the projective line
We give a criterion, based on the automorphism group, for certain cyclic covers of the projective line to be defined over their field of moduli. An example of a cyclic cover of the complex projective line with field of moduli R that can not be defined over R is also given.
متن کاملThe Endomorphism Rings of Jacobians of Cyclic Covers of the Projective Line
Suppose K is a eld of characteristic 0, Ka is its algebraic closure, p is an odd prime. Suppose, f(x) 2 K[x] is a polynomial of degree n 5 without multiple roots. Let us consider a curve C : y = f(x) and its jacobian J(C). It is known that the ring End(J(C)) of all Ka-endomorphisms of J(C) contains the ring Z[ p] of integers in the pth cyclotomic eld (generated by obvious automorphisms of C). W...
