In this article we continue the work started in arXiv:2303.00376v1, explicitly determining the Weierstrass semigroup at any place and the full automorphism group of a known $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal function field $Y_3$ having the third…
In this article we explicitly determine the Weierstrass semigroup at any point and the full automorphism group of a known $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal curve $\mathcal{X}_3$ having the third largest genus. This curve arises as a Galois…
In this article we explicitly determine the Weierstrass semigroup at any place of some $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal Fermat function fields $\mathcal{F}_m$, namely for $m=(q+1)/2$ and $m=(q+1)/3$. These famous function fields arise as Galois…
The problem of understanding whether two given function fields are isomorphic is well-known to be difficult, particularly when the aim is to prove that an isomorphism does not exist. In this paper we investigate a family of maximal function…
In this work, we investigate generalized Weierstrass semigroups in arbitrary Kummer extensions of function field $\mathbb{F}_q(x)$. We analyze their structure and properties, with a particular emphasis on their maximal elements. Explicit…
We study the algebraic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ defined by $y^{q+1} = x^n(x^n+1)$, where $n$ is a positive integer coprime to the characteristic. We first prove (when $q$ is odd) that the nonsingular model of this curve is…
Previous results on genera g of F_{q^2}-maximal curves are improved: (1) Either g\leq (q^2-q+4)/6, or g=\lfloor(q-1)^2/4\rfloor, or g=q(q-1)/2; (2) The hypothesis on the existence of a particular Weierstrass point in \cite{at} is proved;…
In this manuscript, we investigate the automorphism group of a maximal function field with the second largest possible genus over finite field of even characteristic, which is called the Abd\'on--Torres function field. As an application, we…
A function field over a finite field is called maximal if it achieves the Hasse-Weil bound. Finding possible genera that maximal function fields achieve has both theoretical interest and practical applications to coding theory and other…
A linearized function field $F$ can be viewed as a Galois extension of a rational function field $K(x)$. For a totally ramified place $Q$ of degree one in $F/K(x)$, we give a unified description of the set $G(Q)$ of gaps at $Q$. As a…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of automorphism groups of function fields when genus tends to infinity. Motivated by applications in coding and cryptography, we consider the maximum size of abelian…
We determine the Weierstrass semigroup at one and two totally ramified places in a Kummer extension defined by the affine equation $y^{m}=\prod_{i=1}^{r} (x-\alpha_i)^{\lambda_i}$ over $K$, the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_q$, where…
We show that the Weierstrass points of the generic curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 generate a group of maximal rank in the Jacobian.
The classification of maximal function fields over a finite field is a difficult open problem, and even determining isomorphism classes among known function fields is challenging in general. We study a particular family of maximal function…
In this paper, we study configurations of three rational points on the Hermitian curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ and classify them according to their Weierstrass semigroups. For $q>3$, we show that the number of distinct semigroups of this…
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…
In 2017, D. Skabelund constructed a maximal curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^4}$ as a cyclic cover of the Suzuki curve. In this paper we explicitly determine the structure of the Weierstrass semigroup at any point $P$ of the Skabelund curve. We…
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…
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…
In 2016 Tafazolian et al. introduced new families of $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2n}}$-maximal function fields $\mathcal{Y}_{n,s}$ and $\mathcal{X}_{n,s,a,b}$ arising as subfields of the first generalized GK function field (GGS). In this way the…
