Abstract

Given a polynomial fC[x]f\in\mathbb{C}[x], we consider the family of superelliptic curves yd=f(x)y^d=f(x) and their Jacobians JdJ_d for varying integers dd. We show that for any integer gg the number of abelian varieties up to isogeny of dimension g\le g which appear in any JdJ_d is finite and their multiplicities are bounded.
