We give a construction of singular curves with many rational points over finite fields. This construction enables us to prove some results on the maximum number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve…

We compute the Brauer group of the moduli stack of hyperelliptic curves $\mathcal{H}_g$ over any field of characteristic zero. In positive characteristic, we compute the part of the Brauer group whose order is prime to the characteristic of…

We give a short determination of the distribution of the number of $\F_q$-rational points on a random trigonal curve over $\F_q$, in the limit as the genus of the curve goes to infinity. In particular, the expected number of points is…

In this note we prove that for every integer $d \geq 1$, there exists an explicit constant $B_d$ such that the following holds. Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$, let $q > \max\{d-1,5\}$ be any rational prime that is totally inert in…

For prime $p\ge 7$, by using Baker's method we obtain two explicit bounds in terms of $p$ for the $j$-invariant of an integral point on $X_{\ns}^{+}(p)$ which is the modular curve of level $p$ corresponding to the normalizer of a non-split…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a projective irreducible nonsingular algebraic curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. This paper presents a variation of the St\"orh-Voloch theory and sets new bounds to the number of…

This paper describes algorithms for the exact symbolic computation of period integrals on moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$ of curves of genus $0$ with $n$ ordered marked points, and applications to the computation of Feynman integrals.

We consider all genus 2 curves over Q given by an equation y^2 = f(x) with f a squarefree polynomial of degree 5 or 6, with integral coefficients of absolute value at most 3. For each of these roughly 200000 isomorphism classes of curves,…

A new version of the Graeffe algorithm for finding all the roots of univariate complex polynomials is proposed. It is obtained from the classical algorithm by a process analogous to renormalization of dynamical systems. This iteration is…

We propose a new model for counting $\mathbf{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$-number fields having the same local properties as the splitting field of the mod $p$-Galois representation associated with an elliptic curve over the rational numbers. We…

In this paper, we give an explicit bound for the height of integral points on $X_0(p)$ by using a very explicit version of the Chevalley-Weil principle. We improve the bound given by Sha in \cite{sha2014bounding1}.

In this article, we determine all intermediate modular curves $X_\Delta(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$.

We explain how to determine the semistable reduction of a particular plane quartic curve at $p=3$ that appears in the attempts of Rouse, Sutherland, and Zureick-Brown to compute the rational points on the non-split Cartan modular curve…

In a former paper it has been shown that the elliptic Gau{\ss} sums, whose use has been proposed in the context of counting points on elliptic curves and primality tests, can be computed by using modular functions. In this work we give…

We obtain a recursive formula for the number of rational degree $d$ curves in $\mathbb{CP}^2$ that pass through $3d+1-m$ generic points and that have an $m$-fold singular point. The special case of counting curves with a triple point was…

We present computational algorithms to work with points on the modular curve associated to the normaliser of a non-split Cartan group of prime level $p$. Rather than working with explicit equations, we represent these points using the…

In this work, we estimate the genus of the intermediate modular curves between $X_1(N)$ and $X_0(N),$ and determine all the trigonal ones.

Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…

Let $P$ be an arbitrary point on an elliptic curve over the complex numbers of the form $y^2=x^3+a_4\,x+a_6$ or of the form $y^2=x^3+a_2\,x^2+a_4\,x$. We provide explicit formulae to compute the points $P/2$, i.e., the points $Q$ such that…

For a given elliptic curve $E$ over a finite local ring, we denote by $E^{\infty}$ its subgroup at infinity. Every point $P \in E^{\infty}$ can be described solely in terms of its $x$-coordinate $P_x$, which can be therefore used to…
