Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \geq 0$. A generalized Fermat curve of type $(k,n)$, where $k,n \geq 2$ are integers (for $p \neq 0$ we also assume that $k$ is relatively prime to $p$), is a non-singular…

A closed Riemann surface $S$ is called a generalized Fermat curve of type $(p,n)$, where $n,p \geq 2$ are integers such that $(p-1)(n-1)>2$, if it admits a group $H \cong {\mathbb Z}_{p}^{n}$ of conformal automorphisms with quotient…

We consider a Fermat curve $F_n:x^n+y^n+z^n=1$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\geq0$ and study the action of the automorphism group $G=\left(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\right)\rtimes S_3$…

Consider a field $k$ of characteristic $0$, not necessarily algebraically closed, and a fixed algebraic curve $f=0$ defined by a tame polynomial $f\in k[x,y]$ with only quasi-homogeneous singularities. We prove that the space of holomorphic…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be an irreducible algebraic curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p>2$. Assume that the $\mathbb{F}_q$-automorphism group of $\mathcal{X}$ admits as an automorphism group the direct product of…

A group $H \cong {\mathbb Z}_{2}^{n}$, $n \geq 3$, of conformal automorphisms of a closed Riemann surface $S$ such that $S/H$ has genus zero and exactly $(n+1)$ cone points is called a generalized Humbert group of type $n$, in which case,…

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

In this paper we begin to study curves on a weighted projective plane with one trivial weight, ${\mathbb P}(1,m,n)$, by determining the genus of curves of Fermat type. These are curves defined by a ``homogeneous'' polynomial analagous to…

A generalized Mordell curve of degree $n \ge 3$ over $\bQ$ is the smooth projective model of the affine curve of the form $Az^2 = Bx^n + C$, where $A, B, C$ are nonzero integers. A generalized Fermat curve of signature $(n, n, n)$ with $n…

We study canonical models of $\left(\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}\right)^n$- covers of the projective line, tamely ramified at exactly $n+1$ points each of index $k$, when $k,n\geq 2$ and the characteristic of the ground field $K$ is either zero…

Let C : y^2=f(x) be a hyperelliptic curve defined over the rationals. Let K be a number field and suppose f factors over K as a product of irreducible polynomials f=f_1 f_2...f_r. We shall define a "Selmer set" corresponding to this…

We consider families of quasiplatonic Riemann surfaces characterised by the fact that -- as in the case of Fermat curves of exponent $n$ -- their underlying regular (Walsh) hypermap is the complete bipartite graph $ K_{n,n} $, where $ n $…

A $k$-nucleus of a normal rational curve in PG$(n,F)$ is the intersection over all $k$-dimensional osculating subspaces of the curve ($k\in\{-1,0,...,n-1\}$). It is well known that for characteristic zero all nuclei are empty. In case of…
