We give a practical method to compute the 2-torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of a non-hyperelliptic curve of genus $3$, $4$ or $5$. The method is based on the correspondence between the 2-torsion subgroup and the theta hyperplanes to the…

We study the inverse Jacobian problem for the case of Picard curves over $\mathbb{C}$. More precisely, we elaborate on an algorithm that, given a small period matrix $\Omega\in \mathbb{C}^{3\times 3}$ corresponding to a principally…

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…

Motivated by an application in Magnetic Particle Imaging, we study bivariate Lagrange interpolation at the node points of Lissajous curves. The resulting theory is a generalization of the polynomial interpolation theory developed for a node…

In this paper we give a module-theoretic description of the isomorphism classes of abelian varieties $A$ isogenous to $B^r$, where the characteristic polynomial $g$ of Frobenius of $B$ is an ordinary square-free $q$-Weil polynomial, for a…

We extend the formulae of classical invariant theory for the Jacobian of a genus one curve of degree $n \le 4$ to curves of arbitrary degree. To do this, we associate to each genus one normal curve of degree $n$, an $n \times n$ alternating…

We describe a method for computing the Cassels-Tate pairing on the 2-Selmer group of the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve. This can be used to improve the upper bound coming from 2-descent for the rank of the group of rational points on the…

We prove the existence of quadrature formulas exact for integrating high degree polynomials with respect to Jacobi weights based on scattered data on the unit interval. We also obtain a characterization of local Besov spaces using the…

We prove pointwise bounds for two-parameter families of Jacobi polynomials. Our bounds imply estimates for a class of functions arising from the spectral analysis of distinguished Laplacians and sub-Laplacians on the unit sphere in…

We study the reduction properties of low genus curves whose Jacobian has complex multiplication. In the elliptic curve case, we classify the possible Kodaira types of reduction that can occur. Moreover, we investigate the possible Namikawa…

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…

We study the Selmer variety associated to a canonical quotient of the $\Q_p$-pro-unipotent fundamental group of a smooth projective curve of genus at least two defined over $\Q$ whose Jacobian decomposes into a product of abelian varieties…

It is conjectured that there exist finitely many isomorphism classes of simple endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties of GL_2-type over \Q of bounded dimension. We explore this conjecture when particularized to quaternion endomorphism…

Existing algorithms to compute genus 2 theta constants in quasi-linear time use Borchardt sequences, an analogue of the arithmetic-geometric mean for four complex numbers. In this paper, we show that these Borchardt sequences are given by…

Let $k,p\in \mathbb{N}$ with $p$ prime and let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,x_2]$ be a bivariate polynomial with degree $d$ and all coefficients of absolute value at most $p^k$. Suppose also that $f$ is variable separated, i.e., $f=g_1+g_2$ for…

In a previous joint article with F. Abu Salem, we gave efficient algorithms for Jacobian group arithmetic of "typical" divisor classes on C_{3,4} curves, improving on similar results by other authors. At that time, we could only state that…

We describe an algorithm for computing the Picard-Fuchs equation for a family of twists of a fixed elliptic surface. We then apply this algorithm to obtain the equation for several examples, which are coming from families of Kummer surfaces…

A theory of spline quadrature rules for arbitrary continuity class in a closed interval $[a, b]$ with arbitrary nonuniform subintervals based on semi-classical orthogonal Jacobi polynomials is proposed. For continuity class $c \ge 2$ this…

We present three families of pairs of geometrically non-isomorphic curves whose Jacobians are isomorphic to one another as unpolarized abelian varieties. Each family is parametrized by an open subset of P^1. The first family consists of…

In algebraic geometry, superspecial curves are important research objects. While the number of superspecial genus-3 curves in characteristic $p$ is known, the number of hyperelliptic ones among them has not been determined even for small…
