چکیده

Question. Given a connected curve C 0 , proper and smooth over a field K of characteristic p, given a subgroup H ⊂ Aut(C 0); can we lift the pair (C 0 , H) to characteristic zero? ((We shall see that the answer is " NO " in general; for cyclic groups we conjecture that the answer is " YES " .)) Example (1) (Roquette). Consider the normalization of the completion of the curve given by the affine equation Y 2 = X p −X. For p ≥ 5 its genus equals (p−1)/2 and over an algebraically closed field #(Aut(C 0)) = 2p·(p 2 −1). For p ≥ 5 we see that g ≥ 2 and #(Aut(C 0)) > 84(g−1). By the Hurwitz bound we conclude that (C 0 , H) cannot be lifted to characteristic zero for H = Aut(C 0). Remark. By this example we knew that the Hurwitz bound #(Aut(C)) ≤ 84(g − 1) for a curve of genus g ≥ 2 does not hold in characteristic p. Stichtenoth proved: #(Aut(C)) ≤ 16·g 4. Another bound was given by B. Singh. Example (2). Take the curve defined in the previous example with p = 5; in this case g = 2. Consider automorphisms of this curve defined by β(X) = X + 1, β(Y) = Y, and γ(X) = −X, γ(Y) = 2Y.

Elliptic factors in Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves with certain automorphism groups

We decompose the Jacobian variety of hyperelliptic curves up to genus 20, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, with reduced automorphism group A4, S4, or A5. Among these curves is a genus 4 curve with Jacobian variety isogenous to E2 1 × E2 2 and a genus 5 curve with Jacobian variety isogenous to E5, for E and Ei elliptic curves. These types of results have some in...

On the Tangent Space of the Deformation Functor of Curves with Automorphisms

We provide a method to compute the dimension of the tangent space to the global infinitesimal deformation functor of a curve together with a subgroup of the group of automorphisms. The computational techniques we developed are applied to several examples including Fermat curves, p-cyclic covers of the affine line and to Lehr-Matignon curves. The aim of this paper is the study of equivariant equ...

Moduli of CM abelian varieties

We discuss CM abelian varieties in characteristic zero, and in positive characteristic. An abelian variety over a finite field is a CM abelian variety, as Tate proved. Can it be CM-lifted to characteristic zero? Does there exist an abelian variety of dimension g > 3 not isogenous with the Jacobian of an algebraic curve? Can we construct algebraic curves, say over C, where the Jacobian is a

On large automorphism groups of algebraic curves in positive characteristic

In his investigation on large K-automorphism groups of an algebraic curve, Stichtenoth obtained an upper bound on the order of the first ramification group of an algebraic curve X defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Stichtenoth’s bound has raised the problem of classifying all K-automorphism groups G of X with the following property: There is a point P ∈ X for which ...

Darren Glass : Description of Current Research Interests Spring 2008

My research interests are generally in the areas of algebraic geometry, number theory, and Galois theory. My dissertation and some of the research at that time focussed on profinite Galois groups ([2]) and ε-constants associated to arithmetic schemes ([5], [6]), and I have continued this work with a more recent paper on the De Rham cohomology of elliptic curves ([9]). However, most of my recent...
