Hyperelliptic $d$-osculating covers and rational surfaces
Abstract
Let and denote, respectively, the projective line and a fixed elliptic curve marked at its origin, both defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic . We will consider all finite separable marked morphisms , such that is a degree- cover of , ramified at the smooth point . Canonically associated to there is the Abel (rational) embedding of into its \emph{generalized Jacobian}, , and , the flag of hyperosculating planes to at (cf. \textbf{2.1. & 2.2.}). On the other hand, we also have the homomorphism , obtained by dualizing . There is a smallest positive integer such that the tangent line to is contained in . We call it \emph{the osculating order} of . Studying, characterizing and constructing those with given \textit{osculating order} but maximal possible arithmetic genus, is one of the main issues. The other one, to which the first issue reduces, is the construction of all rational curves in a particular anticanonical rational surface associated to (i.e.: a rational surface with an effective anticanonical divisor).
