We define a class of numerical semigroups S, which we call Castelnuovo semigroups, and study the subvariety $M^S_{g,1}$ of $M_{g,1}$ consisting of marked smooth curves with Weierstrass semigroup S. We determine the number of irreducible…

We solve a problem of Komeda concerning the proportion of numerical semigroups which do not satisfy Buchweitz' necessary criterion for a semigroup to occur as the Weierstrass semigroup of a point on an algebraic curve. We also show that the…

{\it $(N,\gamma)$-hyperelliptic} semigroups were introduced by Fernando Torres to encapsulate the most salient properties of Weierstrass semigroups associated to totally-ramified points of $N$-fold covers of curves of genus $\gamma$. Torres…

In this work, we are concerned with the structure of sparse semigroups and some applications of them to Weierstrass points. We manage to describe, classify and find an upper bound for the genus of sparse semigroups. We also study the…

We extend results on Weierstrass semigroups at ramified points of double covering of curves to any numerical semigroup whose genus is large enough. As an application we strengthen the properties concerning Weierstrass weights in \cited{To}.

Assume $a$ and $b=na+r$ with $n \geq 1$ and $0<r<a$ are relatively prime integers. In case $C$ is a smooth curve and $P$ is a point on $C$ with Weierstrass semigroup equal to $<a;b>$ then $C$ is called a $C_{a;b}$-curve. In case $r \neq…

For a positive integer $N$, we say that $\infty$ is a Weierstrass point on the modular curve $X_0(N)$ if there is a non-zero cusp form of weight $2$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ which vanishes at $\infty$ to order greater than the genus of $X_0(N)$. If…

We determine the Weierstrass semigroup $H(P_{\infty}, P_{1}, \ldots , P_{m})$ at several points on the $GK$ curve. In addition, we present conditions to find pure gaps on the set of gaps $G(P_{\infty}, P_{1}, \ldots , P_{m})$. Finally, we…

We determine the Weierstrass semigroup $H(P_\infty,P_1,\ldots,P_m)$ at several rational points on the maximal curves which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve introduced by Tafazolian, Teher\'an-Herrera, and Torres. Furthermore, we…

In this paper we consider the problem of calculating the higher-order Weierstrass weight of the branch points of a superelliptic curve $C$. For any $q>1$, we give an exact formula for the $q$-weight of an affine branch point. We also find a…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over a number field $K$ with good reduction outside a finite set of places $S$ of $K$. We prove that $C$ has a Weierstrass model over the ring of integers of $K$ with height effectively…

A numerical semigroup is a subset of N containing 0, closed under addition and with finite complement in N. An important example of numerical semigroup is given by the Weierstrass semigroup at one point of a curve. In the theory of…

We determine the Weierstrass semigroup at one and two totally ramified places in a Kummer extension defined by the affine equation $y^{m}=\prod_{i=1}^{r} (x-\alpha_i)^{\lambda_i}$ over $K$, the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_q$, where…

The goal of the paper is to study the limiting behavior of the Weierstrass measures on a smooth curve of genus $g\geqslant 2$ as the curve approaches a certain nodal stable curve represented by a point in the Deligne-Mumford…

We study suitable parameters and relations in a numerical semigroup S. When S is the Weierstrass semigroup at a rational point P of a projective curve C, we evaluate the Feng-Rao order bound of the associated family of Goppa codes. Further…

We continue the investigation of curves of type p,q started in [KKW]. We study the space of such curves and the space of nodal curves with prescribed Weierstra\ss semigroup. A necessary and sufficient criterion for a numerical semigroup to…

A numerical semigroup is said to be Weierstrass if it is the semigroup of pole orders of rational functions that are regular at all but one point of some compact Riemann surface or smooth algebraic curve. Hurwitz asked in 1892 whether all…

Given a hyperelliptic curve $C$ of genus $g$ over a number field $K$ and a Weierstrass model $\mathscr{C}$ of $C$ over the ring of integers ${\mathcal O}_K$ (i.e. the hyperelliptic involution of $C$ extends to $\mathscr{C}$ and the quotient…

Let $X$ denote an integral, projective Gorenstein curve over an algebraically closed field $k$. In the case when $k$ is of characteristic zero, C. Widland and the second author have defined Weierstrass points of a line bundle on $X$. In the…

Let $(S,H)$ be a generalized Fermat pair of the type $(k,n)$. If $F\subset S$ is the set of fixed points of the non-trivial elements of the group $H$, then $F$ is exactly the set of hyperoscualting points of the standard embedding…
