Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an irreducible plane curve of $\text{PG}(2,\mathbb{K})$ where $\mathbb{K}$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. A point $Q\in \mathcal{C}$ is an inner Galois point for $\mathcal{C}$ if the…

Let $\C$ be a genus 2 curve defined over $k$, $char (k) =0$. If $\C$ has a $(3,3)$-split Jacobian then we show that the automorphism group $Aut(\C)$ is isomorphic to one of the following: $\bZ_2, V_4, D_8$, or $D_{12}$. There are exactly…

In this article we consider smooth projective curves $C$ of genus two described by integral equations of the form $y^2=xh(x)$, where $h(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is monic of degree $4$. It turns out that if $h(x)$ is reducible, then the absolute…

We show that for any elliptic curve (with j invariant not 0 or 1728) over any field of characteristic different from 2 and 3, there exists an hyperelliptic curve H of genus 5 with two independent maps to the given elliptic curve. We also…

We exhibit the isogeny classes of supersingular abelian threefolds over F_{2^n} containing the Jacobian of a genus 3 curve. In particular, we prove that for even n>6 there always exist a maximal and a minimal curve over F_{2^n}. All the…

A singular curve over a non-perfect field K may not have a smooth model over K. Those are said to "change genus". If K is a global field of positive characteristic and C/K a curve that change genus, then C(K) is known to be finite. The…

We construct inseparable morphisms between curves of genus $\ge 2$ that are degenerations of separable morphisms.

In this paper, we examine superspecial genus-2 curves $C: y^2 = x(x-1)(x-\lambda)(x-\mu)(x-\nu)$ in odd characteristic $p$. As a main result, we show that the difference between any two elements in $\{0,1,\lambda,\mu,\nu\}$ is a square in…

In this paper we prove that there are no hyperelliptic supersingular curves over F_2bar of genus 2^n-1 for any integer n>1. Let g be a natural number, and h=floor(log_2(g+1)+1). Let X be a hyperelliptic curve over F_2bar of genus g>2 and…

This paper determines the normal forms of hyperelliptic supersingular curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic 2 for 0 < g< 9. We also show that every hyperelliptic supersingular curve of genus 9 over F has…

Let $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ be elliptic curves defined over a number field $K$. We say that $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ are discriminant ideal twins if they are not $K$-isomorphic and have the same minimal discriminant ideal and conductor. Such curves…

In this note we show that any supersingular abelian variety is isogenous to a superspecial abelian variety without increasing field extensions. The proof uses minimal isogenies and the Galois descent. We then construct a superspecial…

Let $n$ be an integer such that the modular curve $X_0(n)$ is hyperelliptic of genus $\ge2$ and such that the Jacobian of $X_0(n)$ has rank $0$ over $\mathbb Q$. We determine all points of $X_0(n)$ defined over quadratic fields, and we give…

Supersingular isogeny graphs are known to have very few loops and multi-edges. We formalize this idea by studying and finding bounds for the number of loops and multi-edges in such graphs. We also find conditions under which the…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-isogeny class of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ without CM. The isogeny graph associated to $\mathcal{E}$ is a graph which has a vertex for each elliptic curve in $\mathcal{E}$ and an edge for…

We count the number of isogeny classes of Edwards curves over finite fields, answering a question recently posed by Rezaeian and Shparlinski. We also show that each isogeny class contains a {\em complete} Edwards curve, and that an Edwards…

Let $C \s \pr^2$ be an irreducible plane curve whose dual $C^* \s \pr^{2*}$ is an immersed curve which is neither a conic nor a nodal cubic. The main result states that the Poincar\'e group $\pi_1(\pr^2 \se C)$ contains a free group with…

The genus g of an F_{q^2}-maximal curve satisfies g=g_1:=q(q-1)/2 or g\le g_2:= [(q-1)^2/4]. Previously, such curves with g=g_1 or g=g_2, q odd, have been characterized up to isomorphism. Here it is shown that an F_{q^2}-maximal curve with…

We investigate special structures due to automorphisms in isogeny graphs of principally polarized abelian varieties, and abelian surfaces in particular. We give theoretical and experimental results on the spectral and statistical properties…

We present an algorithm solving the following problem: given two genus 2 curves over a field k with isogenous Jacobians, compute such an isogeny explicitly. This isogeny can be either an l-isogeny or, in the real multiplication case, an…
