Fq-rational places in algebraic function fields using Weierstrass semigroups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new bound on the number of Fq-rational places in an algebraic function field. It uses information about the generators of theWeierstrass semigroup related to a rational place. As we demonstrate, the bound has implications to the theory of towers of function fields. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bounding the number of points on a curve using a generalization of Weierstrass semigroups
In this article we use techniques from coding theory to derive upper bounds for the number of rational places of the function field of an algebraic curve defined over a finite field. The used techniques yield upper bounds if the (generalized) Weierstrass semigroup [3] for an n-tuple of places is known, even if the exact defining equation of the curve is not known. As shown in examples, this som...

متن کاملExplicit bases for Riemann-Roch spaces of the extended norm-trace function field, with applications AG codes and Weierstrass semigroups
The extended norm-trace function field is a generalization of the Hermitian and norm-trace function fields which are of importance in coding theory. In this paper, we provide explicit bases for certain Riemann-Roch spaces on the extended norm-trace function field. These bases provide explicit generator and parity check matrices for algebraic geometry codes CL ( D, aP∞ + ∑ β∈B aβP0β ) on the ext...
متن کاملBases for Riemann-Roch spaces of one point divisors on an optimal tower of function fields
For applications in algebraic geometric codes, an explicit description of bases of Riemann-Roch spaces of divisors on function fields over finite fields is needed. We give an algorithm to compute such bases for one point divisors, and Weierstrass semigroups over an optimal tower of function fields. We also explicitly compute Weierstrass semigroups till level eight. MSC2010 Subject Classificatio...
متن کاملAlgebraic Geometric codes from Kummer Extensions
In the early eighties tools from algebraic geometry were applied by V. Goppa to construct linear codes using algebraic curves over finite fields, see [7]. Nowadays these codes are called algebraic-geometric codes, AG codes for short. The starting point in the construction of an AG code is a projective, absolutely irreducible, non singular algebraic curve X of genus g ≥ 1 defined over the finite...
