We use a recent characterization of minimal value set polynomials and $q$- Frobenius nonclassical curves to construct curves that generalize the Hermitian curve. The genus $g$ and the number $N$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points of the…

We complete the solution of the relative class number one problem for function fields of curves over finite fields. Using work from two earlier papers, this reduces to finding all function fields of genus 6 or 7 over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with one…

In this work we present explicit examples of maximal and minimal curves over finite fields in odd characteristic. The curves are of Artin-Schreier type and the construction is closely related to quadratic forms from $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ to…

We give an asymptotic lower bound on the number of field extensions generated by algebraic points on superelliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with fixed degree $n$ and discriminant bounded by $X$. For $C$ a fixed such curve given by an affine…

We give a construction of singular curves with many rational points over finite fields. This construction enables us to prove some results on the maximum number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve…

A detailed study is made of super elliptic curves, namely super Riemann surfaces of genus one considered as algebraic varieties, particularly their relation with their Picard groups. This is the simplest setting in which to study the…

Let $\mathcal{H}_q$ denote the Hermitian curve in $\mathbb{P}^2$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ and $\mathcal{C}_d$ be an irreducible plane projective curve in $\mathbb{P}^2$ also defined over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ of degree $d$. Can $\mathcal{H}_q$…

We compute the degree of Hurwitz-Hodge classes $\lambda_1^e$ on one dimensional moduli spaces of cyclic admissible covers of the projective line. We also compute the degree of the the first Chern class of the Hodge bundle $\lambda_1$ for…

The split version of the Freudenthal-Tits magic square stems from Lie theory and constructs a Lie algebra starting from two split composition algebras [3, 17, 18]. The geometries appearing in the second row are Severi-Brauer varieties [20].…

Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…

In the study of algebraic curves with many points over a finite field, a well known general problem is to understanding better the properties of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal curves whose genera fall in the higher part of the spectrum of the…

In the first part, we revisit the theory of Drinfeld modular curves and $\pi$-adic Drinfeld modular forms for GL(2) from the perfectoid point of view. In the second part, we review open problems for families of Drinfeld modular forms for…

Let $X$ be a ruled surface over a curve of genus $g$. We prove that $X$ has a scalar-flat Hermitian metric if and only if $g\geq 2$ and $m(X)>2-2g$ where $m(X)$ is an intrinsic number depends on the complex structure of $X$.

We study the ramification divisors of projections of a smooth projective variety onto a linear subspace of the same dimension. We prove that the ramification divisors vary in a maximal dimensional family for a large class of varieties.…

We construct a continuously differentiable curve in the plane that can be covered by a collection of lines such that every line intersects the curve at a single point and the union of the lines has Hausdorff dimension 1. We show that for…

I provide methods of constructing elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over global fields with interesting rational points over the given fields or over large field extensions. I also provide a elliptic curves defined over any given number…

We prove that, if $q$ is large enough, the set of the $\mathbb{F}_{q^6}$-rational points of the Hermitian curve is a complete $(q+1)$-arc in $\mathrm{PG}(2,\mathbb{F}_{q^6})$, addressing an open case from a recent paper by Korchm\'aros,…

We describe an algorithm to compute the number of points over finite fields on a broad class of modular curves: we consider quotients $X_H/W$ for $H$ a subgroup of $\GL_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$, the…

On the twisted Fermat cubic, an elliptic divisibility sequence arises as the sequence of denominators of the multiples of a single rational point. It is shown that there are finitely many perfect powers in such a sequence whose first term…

We prove that a submaximal plane curve (i.e., an irreducible counterexample to Nagata's conjecture) with r singular points has sequence of multiplicities (m, n, ..., n) with m<sn for every integer with ((s-1)(s+2))^2 > 6.76(r-1).
