In this article a complete set of invariants for ordinary quartic curves in characteristic 2 is computed.
Using the discriminant modular form and the Noether formula it is possible to write the admissible self-intersection of the relative dualising sheaf of a semistable hyperelliptic curve over a number field or function field as a sum, over…
We determine conditions that guarantee that a hyperelliptic or plane curve over a field of characteristic not equal to 2 can be defined over its field of moduli. We also give new examples of curves not definable over their fields of moduli.
We show variants of the genus inequality for the irreducible components of the special fiber of an arithmetic curve over a henselian discrete valuation ring of residue characteristic zero that take into account the non-existence of…
The formulas for local root numbers of abelian varieties of dimension one are known. In this paper we treat the simplest unknown case in dimension two by considering a curve of genus 2 defined over a $5$-adic field such that the inertia…
Based on computational evidence, we formulate a number of conjectures on the distribution of rational points on curves of genus 2 over the rational numbers, in terms of the size of the coefficients of an equation of the form y^2 = f(x) >.
In this first of a series of three papers we outline an approach to classifying 4d $\mathcal{N}{=}2$ superconformal field theories at rank 2. The classification of allowed scale invariant $\mathcal{N}=2$ Coulomb branch geometries of…
We classify invariant curves for birational surface maps that are expanding on cohomology. When the expansion is exponential, the arithmetic genus of an invariant curve is at most one. This implies severe constraints on both the type and…
In this paper, we obtain two effective bounds for the $j$-invariant of integral points on certain modular curves which has positive genus and less than three cusps.
Inside the moduli space of curves of genus 2 with 2 marked points we consider the loci of curves admitting a map to P^1 of degree d totally ramified over the two marked points, for d>= 2. Such loci have codimension two. We compute the class…
We study the minimal Weierstrass equations for genus 2 curves defined over a ring of integers $\mathcal O_{\mathbb F}$. This is done via reduction theory and Julia invariant of binary sextics. We show that when the binary sextics has extra…
In this paper we make explicit the constants of Habegger and Pazuki's work from 2017 on bounding the discriminant of cyclic Galois CM fields corresponding to genus 2 curves with CM by them and potentially good reduction outside a predefined…
A new codimension 2 relation among descendent strata in the moduli space of stable, 3-pointed, genus 2 curves is found. The space of pointed admissible double covers is used in the calculation. The resulting differential equations satisfied…
We show that for any elliptic curve (with j invariant not 0 or 1728) over any field of characteristic different from 2 and 3, there exists an hyperelliptic curve H of genus 5 with two independent maps to the given elliptic curve. We also…
We publish a table of primitive finite-type invariants of order less than or equal to six, for knots of ten or fewer crossings. We note certain mod-2 congruences, one of which leads to a chirality criterion in the Alexander polynomial. We…
In this paper we study genus 2 function fields K with degree 3 elliptic subfields. We show that the number of Aut(K)-classes of such subfields of K is 0,1,2, or 4. Also we compute an equation for the locus of such K in the moduli space of…
We introduce new yet easily accessible codes for elements of $GL_r(A)$ with $A$ the adelic ring of a (dimension one) function field over a finite field. They are linear codes, and coincide with classical algebraic geometry codes when $r=1$.…
We consider families of smooth projective curves of genus 2 with a single point removed and study their integral points. We show that in many such families there is a dense set of fibres for which the integral points can be effectively…
We construct inseparable morphisms between curves of genus $\ge 2$ that are degenerations of separable morphisms.
This short article concerns a method to obtain effectivity for the search of integral points on certain (sets of) curves of genus 2. More precisely, we wish to illustrate just an example of application of a criterion of Bilu, to derive…
