چکیده
We construct examples of families of curves of genus 2 or 3 over Q whose Jacobians split completely and have various large rational torsion subgroups. For example, the rational points on a certain elliptic surface over P of positive rank parameterize a family of genus-2 curves over Q whose Jacobians each have 128 rational torsion points. Also, we find the genus-3 curve 15625(X4 + Y 4 + Z4)− 96914(X2Y 2 + X2Z2 + Y 2Z2) = 0, whose Jacobian has 864 rational torsion points.

متن کاملInfinite Families of Pairs of Curves over Q with Isomorphic Jacobians
We present three families of pairs of geometrically non-isomorphic curves whose Jacobians are isomorphic to one another as unpolarized abelian varieties. Each family is parametrized by an open subset of P. The first family consists of pairs of genus-2 curves whose equations are given by simple expressions in the parameter; the curves in this family have reducible Jacobians. The second family al...
متن کاملExplicit Descent for Jacobians of Cyclic Covers of the Projective Line
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.
