Abstract

Let X\mathcal{X} be a projective algebraic curve and denote by X\mathcal{X}^{'} its strict dual curve. The map γ:XX\gamma:\mathcal{X} \longrightarrow \mathcal{X}^{'} is called (strict) Gauss map of X\mathcal{X}. In this manuscript, we study the separable degree of the Gauss map of curves defined over finite fields. In particular, we give a generalization of a known result on the separable degree of the Gauss map of plane Frobenius nonclassical curves. We also obtain a characterization of certain plane strange curves.
