In a previous work general conditions were given to prove the infiniteness of the genus of certain towers of function fields over a perfect field. It was shown that many examples where particular cases of those general results. In this…

In this work, we give sufficient conditions in order to have finite ramification locus in sequences of function fields defined by different kind of Kummer extensions. These conditions can be easily implemented in a computer to generate…

The explicit construction of function fields tower with many rational points relative to the genus in the tower play a key role for the construction of asymptotically good algebraic-geometric codes. In 1997 Garcia, Stichtenoth and Thomas…

We give effective bounds for the class number of any algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. These bounds depend on the possibly partial information on the number of places on each degree $\leq g$. Such bounds are…

Certain towers of function fields with complete splitting of rational places at each stage are constructed. Also, families oof towers with positive N/g ratios are described.

In this paper we construct Galois towers with good asymptotic properties over any non-prime finite field $\mathbb F_{\ell}$; i.e., we construct sequences of function fields $\mathcal{N}=(N_1 \subset N_2 \subset \cdots)$ over $\mathbb…

We study a tower of function fields of Artin-Schreier type over a finite field with $2^s$ elements. The study of the asymptotic behavior of this tower was left as an open problem by Beelen, Garc\'ia and Stichtenoth in $2006$. We prove that…

The modern theory of class field towers has its origins in the study of the p-class field tower over a quadratic imaginary number field, so it is fitting that this problem be the first in the discipline to be nearing a solution. We survey…

We consider a tower of function fields F_0 < F_1 < ... over a finite field such that every place of every F_i ramified in the tower and the sequence genus(F_i)/[F_i:F_0] has a finite limit. We also construct a tower in which every place…

We consider a tower of function fields F=(F_n)_{n\geq 0} over a finite field F_q and a finite extension E/F_0 such that the sequence \mathcal{E):=(EF_n)_{n\goq 0} is a tower over the field F_q. Then we deal with the following: What can we…

In this paper we study the problem of constructing non-trivial subtowers and supertowers of recursive towers of function fields over finite fields.

This paper gives examples of function fields $K_0$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of $p$ power order ramified only at one finite regular prime over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, which admit infinite Hilbert $p$-class field towers. Such a $K_0$ can…

This paper studies infinite class field towers of number fields $K$ that are ramified over $\Q$ only at one finite prime. In particular, we show the existence of such towers for a general family of primes including $p=2$, 3 and 5.

Over all non-prime finite fields, we construct some recursive towers of function fields with many rational places. Thus we obtain a substantial improvement on all known lower bounds for Ihara's quantity $A(\ell)$, for $\ell = p^n$ with $p$…

We use the notion of an Etesi $C^*$-algebra to prove that the real class field towers are always finite.

We construct an explicit asymptotically good tower of curves over the field with eight elements. Its limit is 3/2.

In this paper we investigate examples of good and optimal Drinfeld modular towers of function fields. Surprisingly, the optimality of these towers has not been investigated in full detail in the literature. We also give an algorithmic…

We give a new way to study recursive towers of curves over a finite field, defined from a bottom curve $\Cun$ and a correspondence $\Cdeux$ on $\Cun$.In particular, we study their asymptotic behavior. A close examination of singularities…

We describe Greenberg's pseudo-null conjecture, and prove a result describing conditions under which the pseudo-null conjecture for a number field $K$ implies the conjecture for finite extensions of $K$. We then apply the result to the…

Let us consider an algebraic function field defined over a finite Galois extension $K$ of a perfect field $k$. We give some conditions allowing the descent of the definition field of the algebraic function field from $K$ to $k$. We apply…
