Let $C_\ell/\mathbb Q$ denote the curve with affine model $y^\ell=x(x^\ell-1)$, where $\ell\geq 3$ is prime. In this paper we study the limiting distributions of the normalized $L$-polynomials of the curves by computing their Sato-Tate…

We determine the Sato-Tate groups and prove the generalized Sato-Tate conjecture for the Jacobians of curves of the form $$ y^2=x^p-1 \text{ and } y^2=x^{2p}-1,$$ where $p$ is an odd prime. Our results rely on the fact the Jacobians of…

We consider the curves $y^2=x^{2^m} -1$ and $y^2=x^{2^{d}+1}-x$ over the rationals. These curves are related via their associated Jacobian varieties in that the Jacobians of the latter appear as factors of the Jacobians of the former. One…

Let C denote the Fermat curve over Q of prime exponent l. The Jacobian Jac(C) of C splits over Q as the product of Jacobians Jac(C_k), 0< k < l-1, where C_k are curves obtained as quotients of C by certain subgroups of automorphisms of C.…

Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct primes, and let $X_{p,q}$ be the $(q+1)$-regular graph whose nodes are supersingular elliptic curves over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ and whose edges are $q$-isogenies. For fixed $p$, we compute the distribution of…

We show that the limiting distributions of the coefficients of the $q$-Catalan numbers and the generalized $q$-Catalan numbers are normal. Despite the fact that these coefficients are not unimodal for small $n$, we conjecture that for…

We determine the twisting Sato-Tate group of the genus $3$ hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = x^{8} - 14x^4 + 1$ and show that all possible subgroups of the twisting Sato-Tate group arise as the Sato-Tate group of an explicit twist of $y^2 = x^{8}…

We extend our method to compute division polynomials of Jacobians of curves over Q to curves over Q(t), in view of computing mod ell Galois representations occurring in the \'etale cohomology of surfaces over Q. Although the division…

Fix a positive integer $g$ and rational prime $p$. We prove the existence of a genus $g$ curve $C/\mathbb{Q}$ such that the mod $p$ representation of its Jacobian is tame by imposing conditions on the endomorphism ring. As an application,…
