Abstract

Let X\mathcal{X} be a (projective, non-singular, irreducible) curve of even genus g(X)2g(\mathcal{X}) \geq 2 defined over an algebraically closed field KK of characteristic pp. If the pp-rank γ(X)\gamma(\mathcal{X}) equals g(X)g(\mathcal{X}), then X\mathcal{X} is ordinary. In this paper, we deal with large automorphism groups GG of ordinary curves. Under the hypotheses that p=2p = 2, g(X)g(\mathcal{X}) is even and GG is solvable, we prove that G<35(g(X)+1)3/2|G| < 35(g(\mathcal{X}) +1)^{3/2}.
