Zeta functions of trinomial curves and maximal curves

Algebraic Geometry 2014-08-12 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We determine the zeta functions of trinomial curves in terms of Gauss sums and Jacobi sums, and we obtain an explicit formula of the genus of a trinomial curve over a finite field, then we study the conditions for a trinomial curve to be a maximal curve over a finite field.
