We completely determine the $1085$ open subgroups $H$ of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\widehat{\mathbb{Z}})$ of prime-power level that satisfy $-I \in H$ and $\operatorname{det}(H)=\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}^{\times}$ for which the corresponding modular…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $S$ be a finite set of primes of $K$ containing all archimedean primes, and let $G_{K,S}$ denote the Galois group of the maximal extension of $K$ unramified outside $S$. In this paper, we study the second…

Let A and A' be nonzero abelian varieties defined over a number field k such that Hom(A,A')=0. Under the Generalized Riemann hypothesis for motivic L-functions attached to A and A', we show that there exists a prime p of k of good reduction…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with additive reduction. In this paper, we study the topological group structure of the set of points of good reduction of $E(K)$. In…

It is well-known that classical two-dimensional topological field theories are in one-to-one correspondence with commutative Frobenius algebras. An important extension of classical two-dimensional topological field theories is provided by…

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…

We construct families of hyperelliptic curves over Q of arbitrary genus g with (at least) g integral elements in K_2. We also verify the Beilinson conjectures about K_2 numerically for several curves with g=2, 3, 4 and 5. The paper is…

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…

The weight hierarchy of generalized Reed-Muller codes over arbitrary finite fields was determined by Heijnen and Pellikaan. In this paper we produce curves over finite fields with many points which are closely related to this weight…

In this paper we give a geometric interpretation of the second fundamental form of the period map of curves and we use it to improve the upper bounds on the dimension of a totally geodesic subvariety Y of A_g generically contained in the…

By a theorem of Wahl, for canonically embedded curves which are hyperplane sections of K3 surfaces, the first gaussian map is not surjective. In this paper we prove that if C is a general hyperplane section of high genus (greater than 280)…

Let G be the separable Galois group of a finite field F of characteristic p, and X/F an imaginary hyperelliptic curve such that G acts transitively on its set W(X) of Weierstrass points. The existence of a G-invariant 2-torsion point on the…

We prove that when $q$ is a power of $2$, every complex irreducible representation of $\mathrm{Sp}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ may be defined over the real numbers, that is, all Frobenius-Schur indicators are 1. We also obtain a generating function…

Given a prime power q, for every pair of positive integers m and n with m dividing the GCD of n and q-1, we construct a modular curve over F_q that parametrizes elliptic curves over F_q along with F_q-defined points P and Q of order m and…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field. In this paper, we consider the class of smooth plane curves of degree $n+1>3$ over $\mathbb{K}$, containing three points, $P_1,P_2,$ and $P_3$, such that $nP_1+P_2$, $nP_2+P_3$, and…

We study the problem of efficiently constructing a curve C of genus 2 over a finite field F for which either the curve C itself or its Jacobian has a prescribed number N of F-rational points. In the case of the Jacobian, we show that any…
