A ug 2 00 2 CURVES OF EVERY GENUS WITH MANY POINTS , II : ASYMPTOTICALLY GOOD FAMILIES

چکیده
We resolve a 1983 question of Serre by constructing curves with many points of every genus over every finite field. More precisely, we show that for every prime power q there is a positive constant cq with the following property: for every integer g ≥ 0, there is a genus-g curve over Fq with at least cqg rational points over Fq. Moreover, we show that there exists a positive constant d such that for every q we can choose cq = d log q. We show also that there is a constant c > 0 such that for every q and every n > 0, and for every sufficiently large g, there is a genus-g curve over Fq that has at least cg/n rational points and whose Jacobian contains a subgroup of rational points isomorphic to (Z/nZ) for some r > cg/n.

The number A(q) is the upper limit of the ratio of the maximum number of points of a curve defined over Fq to the genus. By constructing class field towers with good parameters we present improvements of lower bounds of A(q) for q an odd power of a prime.

In the 80's D. Eisenbud and J. Harris considered the following problem: " What are the limits of Weierstrass points in families of curves degenerating to stable curves? " But for the case of stable curves of compact type, treated by them, this problem remained wide open since then. In the present article, we propose a concrete approach to this problem, and give a quite explicit solution for sta...

We give lower bounds for the rank of the first homology group of the real points of the DeligneMumford-Knudsen compactification of stable n-pointed curves of genus 0,which coincides with the Chow quotient (RP )//PGL(2, R). [8]. The study is a diagrammatic version of Loday’s Theorems [17].Also, it has connections with spectral geometry and combinatorics. A.M.S. Classification:14P25 (14F35, 14J10...

We investigate the asymptotic behavior for type II Hermite-Padé approximation to two functions, where each function has two branch points and the pairs of branch points are separated. We give a classification of the cases such that the limiting counting measures for the poles of the Hermite-Padé approximants are described by an algebraic function h of order 3 and genus 0. This situation gives r...
متن کاملExplicit modular towers
We give a general recipe for explicitly constructing asymptotically optimal towers of modular curves such as {X0(l)}n>1. We illustrate the method by giving equations for eight towers with various geometric features. We conclude by observing that such towers are all of a specific recursive form and speculate that perhaps every tower of this form which attains the Drinfeld-Vlăduţ bound is modular...
