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 study the arithmetic properties of Weierstrass points on the modular curves $X_0^+(p)$ for primes $p$. In particular, we obtain a relationship between the Weierstrass points on $X_0^+(p)$ and the $j$-invariants of supersingular elliptic…

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…

Consider the Drinfeld modular curve $X_0(\mathfrak{p})$ for $\mathfrak{p}$ a prime ideal of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$. It was previously known that if $j$ is the $j$-invariant of a Weierstrass point of $X_0(\mathfrak{p})$, then the reduction of $j$…

For each integer $D \geq 5$ with $D \equiv 0$ or $1 \bmod 4$, the Weierstrass curve $W_D$ is an algebraic curve and a finite volume hyperbolic orbifold which admits an algebraic and isometric immersion into the moduli space of genus two…

Let C be a complete non-singular irreducible curve of genus 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We determine all possible Weierstrass semigroups of ramification points on double covers of C which have genus greater…

A classical result states that on a smooth algebraic curve of genus $g$ the number of Weierstrass points, counted with multiplicity, is $g^3-g$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of geometric Weierstrass points of metric graphs and…

We give conditions when the fixed points by the partial Atkin-Lehner involutions on $X_0(N)$ are Weierstrass points as an extension of the result by Lehner and Newman \cite{LN}. Furthermore, we complete their result by determining whether…

Let C be the union of two general connected, smooth, nonrational curves X and Y intersecting transversally at a point P. Assume that P is a general point of X or of Y. Our main result, in a simplified way, says: Let Q be a point of X. Then…

In this paper, we compute the 1-gap sequences of 1-Weierstrass points on non-hyperelliptic smooth projective curves of genus 10. Furthermore, the geometry of such points is classified as flexes, sextactic and tentactic points. Also, an…

For Kummer extensions $y^m=f(x)$, we discuss conditions for an integer be a Weierstrass gap at a place $P$. In the case of totally ramified places, the conditions will be necessary and sufficient. As a consequence, we extend independent…

In this article we explicitly determine the structure of the Weierstrass semigroups $H(P)$ for any point $P$ of the Giulietti-Korchm\'aros curve $\mathcal{X}$. We show that as the point varies, exactly three possibilities arise: One for the…

We prove that the constellation of Weierstrass points characterizes the isomorphism-class of double covering of curves of genus large enough.

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…

Let $\Gamma$ be the Fuchsian group of the first kind. For an even integer $m\ge 4$, we describe the space $H^{m/2}\left(\mathfrak R_\Gamma\right)$ of $m/2$--holomorphic differentials in terms of a subspace $S_m^H(\Gamma)$ of the space of…

We show that on a metric graph of genus $g$, a divisor of degree $n$ generically has $g(n-g+1)$ Weierstrass points. For a sequence of generic divisors on a metric graph whose degrees grow to infinity, we show that the associated Weierstrass…

For each group $G$, $(|G| > 2)$ \, which acts as a full automorphism group on a genus 3 hyperelliptic curve, we determine the family of curves which have 2-Weierstrass points. Such families of curves are explicitly determined in terms of…

The Weierstrass curve is a pointed curve $(X,\infty)$ with a numerical semigroup $H_X$, which is a normalization of the curve given by the Weierstrass canonical form, $y^r + A_{1}(x) y^{r-1} + A_{2}(x) y^{r-2} +\dots + A_{r-1}(x) y +…

We study the codimension n locus of curves of genus 2 with n distinct marked Weierstrass points inside the moduli space of genus 2, n-pointed curves, for n <= 6. We give a recursive description of the classes of the closure of these loci…

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…
