Let $E$ be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb {Q}$. Fix an algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb {Q}}$ of $\mathbb {Q}$. We get a Galois representation \[\rho_E \colon Gal(\overline{\mathbb {Q}}/\mathbb {Q}) \to GL_2(\hat{\mathbb…

We classify the three-dimensional representations of the modular group that are reducible but indecomposable, and their associated spaces of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms. We then demonstrate how such representations may be…

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

In this article we prove an analogue of a theorem of Lachaud, Ritzenthaler, and Zykin, which allows us to connect invariants of binary oc-tics to Siegel modular forms of genus 3. We use this connection to show that certain modular…

Let $N$ be a positive integer. For every $d\mid N$ such that $(d,N/d)=1$ there exists an Atkin-Lehner involution $w_d$ of the modular curve $X_0(N)$. The curve $X_0^*(N)$ is a quotient curve of $X_0(N)$ by $B(N)$, the group of all…

For $N$ integer $\ge1$, K. Murty and D. Ramakrishnan defined the $N$-th Heisenberg curve, as the compactified quotient $X'_N$ of the upper half-plane by a certain non-congruence subgroup of the modular group. They ask whether the…

In this paper, we list all cyclic automorphisms subgroups $H$ for which there exists a smooth projective non-hyperelliptic sextic curve $C$ with $H\preceq Aut(C)$. Furthermore, we attach to each group a defining equation of a plane sextic…

For a given hyperelliptic curve $C$ over a finite field with Jacobian $J_C$, we consider the hyperelliptic analogue of the congruential generator defined by $W_n=W_{n-1}+D$ for $n\geq 1$ and $D,W_0\in J_C$. We show that curves of genus 2…

We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…

Given a smooth curve X of genus g we compute de dimension of the family of curves C which have an involution over X. Moreover we distinguish when the curve C is hyperelliptic.

We compute the cohomological invariants with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ of the stack $\mathscr{H}_3$ of hyperelliptic curves of genus $3$ over an algebraically closed field.

Let C be a soluble smooth genus one curve over a Henselian discrete valuation field. There is a unique minimal Weierstrass equation defining C up to isomorphism. In this paper we consider genus one equations of degree n defining C, namely a…

We find equations for the higher dimensional analogue of the modular curve X_0(3) using Mumford's algebraic formalism of algebraic theta functions. As a consequence, we derive a method for the construction of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves…

Using an explicit family of plane quartic curves, we prove the existence of a genus 3 curve over any finite field of characteristic 3 whose number of rational points stays within a fixed distance from the Hasse-Weil-Serre upper bound. We…

Let $M$ be the moduli space of rank $2$ stable bundles with fixed determinant of degree $1$ on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 2$. When $C$ is generic, we show that any elliptic curve on $M$ has degree (respect to…

For each open subgroup $G$ of ${\rm GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$ containing $-I$ with full determinant, let $X_G/\mathbb{Q}$ denote the modular curve that loosely parametrizes elliptic curves whose Galois representation, which arises from the…

For a curve $X$ of genus $>1$ defined over a finite field, we present a criterion which allows us to state the non existence of automorphisms of order a power of a rational prime. We show how this criterion can be used to determine the…

A curve is called nondegenerate if it can be modeled by a Laurent polynomial that is nondegenerate with respect to its Newton polytope. We show that up to genus 4, every curve is nondegenerate. We also prove that the locus of nondegenerate…

We determine all modular curves X(N) (with $N\geq 7$) which are hyperelliptic or bielliptic. We make available a proof that the automorphism group of X(N) coincides with the normalizer of $\Gamma(N)$ in $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$.

Taubes established fundamental properties of $J-$holomorphic subvarieties in dimension 4 in \cite{T1}. In this paper, we further investigate properties of reducible $J-$holomorphic subvarieties. We offer an upper bound of the total genus of…
