چکیده
We classify, up to isomorphism, maximal curves covered by the Hermit-ian curve H by a prime degree Galois covering. We also compute the genus of maximal curves obtained by the quotient of H by several automorphisms groups. Finally we discuss the value for the third largest genus that a maximal curve can have.

On Maximal Curves and Unramified Coverings
We discuss sufficient conditions for a given curve to be covered by a maximal curve with the covering being unramified; it turns out that the given curve itself will be also maximal. We relate our main result to the question of whether or not a maximal curve is covered by the Hermitian curve. We also provide examples illustrating the results. §1. Let X be a projective, geometrically irreducible...
متن کاملOn Curves Covered by the Hermitian Curve
For each proper divisor d of (q − √q + 1), q being a square power of a prime, maximal curves Fq-covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1 2 ( q− √ q+1 d − 1) are constructed.
متن کاملOne-point Goppa Codes on Some Genus 3 Curves with Applications in Quantum Error-Correcting Codes
We investigate one-point algebraic geometric codes CL(D, G) associated to maximal curves recently characterized by Tafazolian and Torres given by the affine equation yl = f(x), where f(x) is a separable polynomial of degree r relatively prime to l. We mainly focus on the curve y4 = x3 +x and Picard curves given by the equations y3 = x4-x and y3 = x4 -1. As a result, we obtain exact value of min...
متن کاملFp2-MAXIMAL CURVES WITH MANY AUTOMORPHISMS ARE GALOIS-COVERED BY THE HERMITIAN CURVE
Let F be the finite field of order q, q = p with p prime. It is commonly atribute to J.P. Serre the fact that any curve F-covered by the Hermitian curve Hq+1 : y = x + x is also F-maximal. Nevertheless, the converse is not true as the GiuliettiKorchmáros example shows provided that q > 8 and h ≡ 0 (mod 3). In this paper, we show that if an F-maximal curve X of genus g ≥ 2 where q = p is such th...

We study arithmetical and geometrical properties of maximal curves, that is, curves defined over the finite field F q 2 whose number of F q 2-rational points reaches the Hasse-Weil upper bound. Under a hypothesis on non-gaps at a rational point, we prove that maximal curves are F q 2-isomorphic to y q + y = x m , for some m ∈ Z +. As a consequence we show that a maximal curve of genus g = (q − ...
