We study hyperelliptic curves y^2=f(x) over local fields of odd residue characteristic. We introduce the notion of a "cluster picture" associated to the curve, that describes the p-adic distances between the roots of f(x), and show that…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = f(x)$ over a discretely valued field $K$. The $p$-adic distances between the roots of $f(x)$ can be described by a completely combinatorial object known as the cluster picture. We show that the…

We study a class of semistable ordinary hyperelliptic curves over 2-adic fields and the special fibre of their minimal regular model. We show that these curves can be controlled using `cluster pictures', similarly to the case of odd residue…

A new approach has been recently developed to study the arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves $y^2=f(x)$ over local fields of odd residue characteristic via combinatorial data associated to the roots of $f$. Since its introduction, numerous…

In this paper, we explore three combinatorial descriptions of semistable types of hyperelliptic curves over local fields: dual graphs, their quotient trees by the hyperelliptic involution, and configurations of the roots of the defining…

Given a Galois cover $Y \to X$ of smooth projective geometrically connected curves over a complete discrete valuation field $K$ with algebraically closed residue field, we define a semistable model of $Y$ over the ring of integers of a…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field of residue characteristic not $2$ and $O_K$ its ring of integers. We explicitly construct a regular model over $O_K$ with strict normal crossings of any hyperelliptic curve $C/K:y^2=f(x)$. For…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve over a local field $K$ with odd residue characteristic, defined by some affine Weierstrass equation $y^2=f(x)$. We assume that $C$ has semistable reduction and denote by $\mathcal{X} \rightarrow…

We give a condition for a hyperelliptic curve $C$ over a local field $K$ to be locally soluble, on the condition that $C$ obtains semistable reduction after a tame extension of $K$, and that the residue field $k$ is sufficiently large…

Let $\varphi\colon X\rightarrow Y$ be a degree two Galois cover of smooth curves over a local field $F$ of odd characteristic. Assuming that $Y$ has good reduction, we describe a semi-stability criterion for the curve $X$, using the data of…

Let $C: y^2=f(x)$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\geq 1$, defined over a complete discretely valued field $K$, with ring of integers $O_K$. Under certain conditions on $C$, mild when residue characteristic is not $2$, we explicitly…

Let $K$ be a field with a discrete valuation; let $p$ be a prime; and let $C$ be the curve defined by an equation of the form $y^p = f(x)$. We show that the curve $C$ has a model over an algebraic extension of $K$ whose special fiber…

We study genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves with reduced automorphism group $A_5$ and give equations $y^2=f(x)$ for such curves in both cases where $f(x)$ is a decomposable polynomial in $x^2$ or $x^5$. For any fixed genus the locus of such…

Given a Galois cover $Y \to X$ of smooth projective geometrically connected curves over a complete discrete valuation field $K$ with algebraically closed residue field, we define a semistable model of $Y$ over the ring of integers of a…

We establish a relation between minimal value set polynomials defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and certain $q$-Frobenius nonclassical curves. The connection leads to a characterization of the curves of type $g(y)=f(x)$, whose irreducible…

The modular variety of non singular and complete hyperelliptic curves with level-two structure of genus 3 is a 5-dimensional quasi projective variety which admits several standard compactifications. The first one, X, comes from the…

We study local variations of causal curves in a space-time with respect to b-length (or generalised affine parameter length). In a convex normal neighbourhood, causal curves of maximal metric length are geodesics. Using variational…

We show how a type of multi-Frobenius nonclassicality of a curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$ reflects on the geometry of its strict dual curve. In particular, in such cases we may describe all the…

We introduce the notion of tropical curves of hyperelliptic type. These are tropical curves whose Jacobian is isomorphic to that of a hyperelliptic tropical curve, as polarized tropical abelian varieties. We show that this property depends…

We give a new characterisation of elliptic curves of Shimura type in terms commuting families of Frobenius lifts and also strengthen an old principal ideal theorem for ray class fields. These two results combined yield the existence of…
