Let $K_i$ be a number field for all $i \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a family of elliptic curves containing infinitely many members defined over $K_i$ for all $i$. Fix a rational prime $p$. We give sufficient conditions for…

Let $K$ be a number field, and $S$ a finite set of non-archimedean places of $K$, and write $\mathcal{O}_S^\times$ for the group of $S$-units of $K$. A famous theorem of Siegel asserts that the $S$-unit equation $\varepsilon+\delta=1$, with…

We study the $k[G]$-module structure of the space of holomorphic differentials of a curve defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, for a cyclic group $G$ of order $p^\ell n$. We also study the relation to the…

Let C/K: F = 0 be a smooth plane quartic over a complete discrete valuation field K. In a previous paper the authors togetehr with Q. Liu give various characterizations of the reduction (i.e. non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curve, hyperelliptic…

We present an algorithm that, for every fixed genus $g$, will enumerate all hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over a finite field $k$ of odd characteristic in quasilinear time; that is, the time required for the algorithm is…

Let $F$ be the maximal totally real subfield of $\mathbf{Q}(\zeta_{32})$, the cyclotomic field of $32$nd roots of unity. Let $D$ be the quaternion algebra over $F$ ramified exactly at the unique prime above $2$ and 7 of the real places of…

We prove a form of the Weierstrass Preparation Theorem for normal algebraic curves over complete discrete valuation rings. While the more traditional algebraic form of Weierstrass Preparation applies just to the projective line over a base,…

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…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a smooth, projective, genus $g\geq 2$ curve, defined over $\mathbb{C}$. Then $\mathcal{C}$ has \emph{many automorphisms} if its corresponding moduli point $p \in \mathcal{M}_g$ has a neighborhood $U$ in the complex…

We determine the Weierstrass semigroup $H(P_\infty,P_1,\ldots,P_m)$ at several rational points on the maximal curves which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve introduced by Tafazolian, Teher\'an-Herrera, and Torres. Furthermore, we…

{\it $(N,\gamma)$-hyperelliptic} semigroups were introduced by Fernando Torres to encapsulate the most salient properties of Weierstrass semigroups associated to totally-ramified points of $N$-fold covers of curves of genus $\gamma$. Torres…

In this paper we generalize results of P. Le Duff to genus n hyperelliptic curves. More precisely, let C/Q be a hyperelliptic genus n curve and let J(C) be the associated Jacobian variety. Assume that there exists a prime p such that J(C)…

We consider the generic Green conjecture on syzygies of a canonical curve, and particularly the following reformulation thereof: {\it For a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g$ in characteristic 0, the condition ${\rm Cliff} C>l$ is…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective connected curve of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $G$ be a finite group, $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $N_G(P)$ its normalizer in $G$. We show…

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…

In this paper we consider the problem of calculating the higher-order Weierstrass weight of the branch points of a superelliptic curve $C$. For any $q>1$, we give an exact formula for the $q$-weight of an affine branch point. We also find a…

In the previous work (J. Geom. Phys. {\bf{39}} (2001) 50-61), the closed loop solitons in a plane, \it i.e., loops whose curvatures obey the modified Korteweg-de Vries equations, were investigated for the case related to algebraic curves…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a CM elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, with Weiestrass form $y^3=x^3+bx$ or $y^2=x^3+c$. For every positive integer $m$, we denote by ${\mathcal{E}}[m]$ the $m$-torsion subgroup of ${\mathcal{E}}$ and by…

A number field $K$ is primitive if $K$ and $\mathbb{Q}$ are the only subextensions of $K$. Let $C$ be a curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We call an algebraic point $P\in C(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ primitive if the number field…

We prove that for any number field $K$ and any fixed genus $g \geq 2$, there are infinitely many non-isomorphic hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over $K$ whose Jacobians have rank over $K$ equal to each of 0, 1, or 2. As an example of our…
