We use methods for computing Picard numbers of reductions of K3 surfaces in order to study the decomposability of Jacobians over number fields and the variance of Mordell-Weil ranks of families of Jacobians over different ground fields. For…

We consider the issue of when the L-polynomial of one curve over $\F_q$ divides the L-polynomial of another curve. We prove a theorem which shows that divisibility follows from a hypothesis that two curves have the same number of points…

Genus 2 curves are useful in cryptography for both discrete-log based and pairing-based systems, but a method is required to compute genus 2 curves such that the Jacobian has a given number of points. Currently, all known methods involve…

We give real Jacobian elliptic function parametrizations for a genuinely asymmetric biquadratic curve where the variables and parameters are real.

We generalize the group law of curves of degree three by chords and tangents to the Jacobi variety of a hyperelliptic curve. In the case of genus 2 we accomplish the construction by a cubic parabola. We derive explicit rational formulas for…

We prove that in most cases relevant to cryptography, the Frobenius endomorphism on the Jacobian of a genus two curve is represented by a diagonal matrix with respect to an appropriate basis of the subgroup of l-torsion points. From this…

We estimate the sum of products or quotients of $L$-functions, where the sum is taken over all quadratic extensions of given genus over a fixed global function field. Our estimate for the sum of the quotient of two $L$-functions is…

We study the modular curves defined by Weber functions, and associated modular polynomials, action of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and parametrizations of elliptic curves with a view to the study of the isogeny graphs that they determine,…

We develop the theory of Abelian functions associated with cyclic trigonal curves by considering two new cases. We investigate curves of genus six and seven and consider whether it is the trigonal nature or the genus which dictates certain…

We address the question of existence of absolutely simple abelian varieties of dimension 2 with everywhere good reduction over quadratic fields. The emphasis will be given to the construction of pairs $(K,C)$, where $K$ is a quadratic…

We present a new probabilistic algorithm to compute modular polynomials modulo a prime. Modular polynomials parameterize pairs of isogenous elliptic curves and are useful in many aspects of computational number theory and cryptography. Our…

We describe algorithms based on invariant theory to solve problems on the geometry of curves, mainly those of genus 2, 3 and 4. New theoretical results building on the first author's PhD thesis are also included.

We present an efficient method for the computation of homogenized coefficients of divergence-form operators with random coefficients. The approach is based on a multiscale representation of the homogenized coefficients. We then implement…

We investigate the decomposition of Jacobians of superelliptic curves based on their automorphisms. For curve with equation $y^n=f(x^m)$ we provide an necessary and sufficient condition in terms of $m$ and $n$ for the decomposition of the…

We obtain matching direct and inverse theorems for the degree of weighted $L_p$-approximation by polynomials with the Jacobi weights $(1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta$. Combined, the estimates yield a constructive characterization of various…

We discuss methods for using the Weil polynomial of an isogeny class of abelian varieties over a finite field to determine properties of the curves (if any) whose Jacobians lie in the isogeny class. Some methods are strong enough to show…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a finite field of characteristic $p$. We describe and implement a practical algorithm for computing the $p$-divisible group $Jac(X)[p^\infty]$ via computing its Dieudonn\'{e} module, or equivalently…

In this paper we propose a method of solving the Jacobi inversion problem in terms of multiply periodic $\wp$ functions, also called Kleinian $\wp$ functions. This result is based on the recently developed theory of multivariable sigma…

We study a relationship between two genus 2 curves whose jacobians are isogenous with kernel equal to a maximal isotropic subspace of p-torsion points with respect to the Weil pairing. For p = 3 we find an explicit relationship between the…
