Abstract

A non-singular complete irreducible algebraic curve Fk,nF_{k,n}, defined over an algebraically closed field KK, is called a generalized Fermat curve of type (k,n)(k,n), where n,k2n, k \geq 2 are integers and kk is relatively prime to the characteristic pp of KK, if it admits a group HZknH \cong {\mathbb Z}_{k}^{n} of automorphisms such that Fk,n/HF_{k,n}/H is isomorphic to PK1{\mathbb P}_{K}^{1} and it has exactly (n+1)(n+1) cone points, each one of order kk. By the Riemann-Hurwitz-Hasse formula, Fk,nF_{k,n} has genus at least one if and only if (k1)(n1)>1(k-1)(n-1) >1. In such a situation, we construct a basis, called an standard basis, of its space H1,0(Fk,n)H^{1,0}(F_{k,n}) of regular forms, containing a subset of cardinality n+1n+1 that provides an embedding of Fk,nF_{k,n} into PKn{\mathbb P}_{K}^{n} whose image is the fiber product of (n1)(n-1) classical Fermat curves of degree kk. For p=2p=2, we obtain a lower bound (which is sharp for n=2,3n=2,3) for the dimension of the space of the exact one-forms, that is, the kernel of the Cartier operator. Also, we done this for p=3p=3, k=2k=2 and n=4n=4.
