The affine ring A of the affine Jacobian variety of a hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 is studied as a D-module. The conjecture on the minimal D-free resolution previously proposed is proved in this case. As a by-product a linear basis of 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…

An important problem in computational arithmetic geometry is to find changes of coordinates to simplify a system of polynomial equations with rational coefficients. This is tackled by a combination of two techniques, called minimisation and…

L. Moret-Bailly constructed families $\mathfrak{C}\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ of genus 2 curves with supersingular jacobian. In this paper we first classify the reducible fibers of a Moret-Bailly family using linear algebra over a quaternion…

Let ell be a prime, and H a curve of genus 2 over a field k of characteristic not 2 or ell. If S is a maximal Weil-isotropic subgroup of Jac(H)[ell], then Jac(H)/S is isomorphic to the Jacobian of some (possibly reducible) curve X. We…

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…

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…

A curve over a perfect field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$ is said to be superspecial if its Jacobian is isomorphic to a product of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure $\overline{K}$. In recent years, isomorphism…

In this work we propose an algorithm that numerically evaluates Kleinian hyperelliptic functions associated with a complex curve of genus 2. This algorithm is based upon constructing a sequence of curves with Richelot isogenous Jacobians…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p \neq 2$, and let $f(x)$ be a sextic polynomial irreducible over $K$ with no repeated roots, whose Galois group is isomorphic to $\A_5$. If the jacobian $J(C)$ of the hyperelliptic curve $C:y^2=f(x)$…

We give a covariant treatment of the quadratic differential identities satisfied by the P-functions on the Jacobian of smooth hyperelliptic curves of genera 1, 2 and 3.

We introduce a common generalization of essentially all known methods for explicit computation of Selmer groups, which are used to bound the ranks of abelian varieties over global fields. We also simplify and extend the proofs relating what…

In 1922, Mordell conjectured that the set of rational points on a smooth curve $C$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with genus $g \ge 2$ is finite. This has been proved by Faltings in 1983. However, Coleman determined in 1985 an upper bound of…

We construct Weil numbers corresponding to genus-2 curves with $p$-rank 1 over the finite field $\F_{p^2}$ of $p^2$ elements. The corresponding curves can be constructed using explicit CM constructions. In one of our algorithms, the group…

We construct an infinite number of Shimura curves contained in the locus of hyperelliptic Jacobians of genus 3. In the opposite direction, we show that in genus 3 the only possible non-complete (in the moduli space of abelian threefolds)…

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…

Let E be an elliptic curve having complex multiplication by a given quadratic order of an imaginary quadratic field K. The field of definition of E is the ring class field Omega of the order. If the prime p splits completely in Omega, then…

Let $K$ be a number field and let $C/K$ be a curve of genus 2 with Jacobian variety $J$. In this paper, we study the canonical height $\hat{h} \colon J(K) \to \mathbb R$. More specifically, we consider the following two problems, which are…

Let f(x) be a polynomial of degree at least 5 with complex coefficients and without repeated roots. Let p be an odd prime. Suppose that all the coefficients of f(x) lie in a subfield K such that: 1) K contains a primitive p-th root of…

We give bounds on the primes of geometric bad reduction for curves of genus three of primitive CM type in terms of the CM orders. In the case of genus one, there are no primes of geometric bad reduction because CM elliptic curves are CM…
