Genus 2 curves have been an object of much mathematical interest since eighteenth century and continued interest to date. They have become an important tool in many algorithms in cryptographic applications, such as factoring large numbers,…

The Chabauty--Coleman--Kim method in depth two describes the rational points on a curve in terms of a generalisation of Nekov\'a\v{r}'s $p$-adic height pairing which replaces $\mathbb{G}_m$ with a higher Chow group. It is unclear both what…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$, and let $\alpha_{1}$, $\alpha_{2}$, ..., $\alpha_{5}$ be algebraically independent and transcendental over $k$. Let $K$ be the transcendental extension of $k$ obtained by adjoining the elementary…

We give an algorithm that, given an elliptic curve $E$ over $\Qbar$ in Weierstra{\ss} form, computes the infimum and supremum of the difference between the na\"{\i}ve and canonical height functions on $E(\Qbar)$. ----- Nous donnons un…

In this work we consider constructions of genus three curves $X$ such that $\mathrm{End}(\mathrm{Jac}(X)) \otimes Q$ contains the totally real cubic number field $Q(\zeta _ 7 + \overline{\zeta}_7)$. We construct explicit two-dimensional…

This paper is concerned with some Algebraic Geometry codes on Jacobians of genus 2 curves. We derive a lower bound for the minimum distance of these codes from an upper "Weil type" bound for the number of rational points on irreducible…

In this note we give explicit constructions of decomposable hyperelliptic Jacobian varieties over fields of characteristic $0$. These include hyperelliptic Jacobian varieties that are isogenous to a product of two absolutely simple…

We describe algorithms for computing the intersection numbers of divisors and of Chern classes of the Hodge bundle on the moduli spaces of stable pointed curves. We also discuss the implementations and the results obtained. There are…

A central problem in arithmetic geometry is to construct non-torsion rational points on elliptic curves. We study a canonical quadratic point $\xi_C \in {\rm Jac}(C)$ attached to a smooth non-hyperelliptic curve of genus 4 and use it to…

We give a structure theorem for the $m$-torsion of the Jacobian of a general superelliptic curve $y^m=F(x)$. We study existence of torsion on curves of the form $y^q=x^p-x+a$ over finite fields of characteristic $p$. We apply those results…

We establish new upper bounds for the height of the S-integral points of an elliptic curve. This bound is explicitly given in terms of the set S of places of the number field K involved, but also in terms of the degree of K, as well as the…

We study the arithmetic of abelian varieties over $K=k(t)$ where $k$ is an arbitrary field. The main result relates Mordell-Weil groups of certain Jacobians over $K$ to homomorphisms of other Jacobians over $k$. Our methods also yield…

We characterize stable curves $X$ whose compactified degree-$d$ Jacobian is of N\'eron type. This means the following: for any one-parameter regular smoothing of $X$, the special fiber of the N\'eron model of the Jacobian of the generic…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a discretely valued field. Edixhoven has defined a filtration on the special fiber of the N\'eron model of $A$ that measures the behaviour of the N\'eron model under tame base change. We interpret the…

To any compact Riemann surface of genus g one may assign a principally polarized abelian variety of dimension g, the Jacobian of the Riemann surface. The Jacobian is a complex torus, and a Gram matrix of the lattice of a Jacobian is called…

Let $X$ (resp. $Y$) be a curve of genus 1 (resp. 2) over a base field $k$ whose characteristic does not equal 2. We give criteria for the existence of a curve $Z$ over $k$ whose Jacobian is up to twist (2,2,2)-isogenous to the products of…

If $C:y^2=x(x-1)(x-a_1)(x-a_2)(x-a_3)$ is genus $2$ curve a natural question to ask is: Under what conditions on $a_1,a_2,a_3$ does the Jacobian $J(C)$ have real multiplication by $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{\Delta}]$ for some $\Delta>0$. Over a…

A set of multi-homogeneous equations for the Jacobian of a genus two curve is given. The approach used is to write down affine equations for the Jacobian minus various tranlations of the Theta-divisor by [2]-division points, and then to…

We prove that the quotient of Jacobian of a curve whose genus is greater than or equal to 5 under the action of a finite group acting on the curve is never uniruled, and classify all curves of genus 3 and 4 whose quotients of Jacobian is…
