The trigonal curves of genus 5 can be represented by projective plane quintics that have 1 singularity of delta invariant 1. Combining this with a partial sieve method for plane curves we count the number of such curves over any finite…

The defect of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre upper bound for the number of points on the curve. We present algorithms for constructing curves of genus 5,…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $k$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic $p$. Booher and Cais showed that the $a$-number of a $\mathbb Z/p \mathbb Z$-Galois cover of curves $\phi: Y \to X$ must be greater than a lower bound…

It is known that for a smooth hyperelliptic curve to have a large $a$-number, the genus must be small relative to the characteristic of the field, $p>0$, over which the curve is defined. It was proven by Elkin that for a genus $g$…

This paper provides an algorithm enumerating superspecial trigonal curves of genus $5$ over finite fields. Executing the algorithm over a computer algebra system Magma, we enumerate them over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^a}$ for any natural…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $d$ be a positive integer not divisible by $p$. We define a non-empty Zariski open subset $U$ of the space of polynomials of degree $d$, and for $f(x)\in U(k)$, we compute the…

We present an algorithmic framework for computing generators for the ring of invariants of an Artin-Schreier curve. We give explicit invariants for almost all Artin-Schreier curves of genus up to~8 in standard form, and for a handful of…

We address the problem of the maximal finite number of real points of a real algebraic curve (of a given degree and, sometimes, genus) in the projective plane. We improve the known upper and lower bounds and construct close to optimal…

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…

We study genus $4$ curves over finite fields and two invariants of the $p$-torsion part of their Jacobians: the $a$-number ($a$) and $p$-rank ($f$). We collect and analyze statistical data of curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$ for $p=3,5,7,11$ and…

In this article we study genus 5 curves with a fixed point free involution. We give two geometrical caracterisations of these curves amoung all genus 5 curves. One of these was conjectured by Arbarello, Cornalba, Griffiths and Harris in…

Genus 5 curves can be hyperelliptic, trigonal, or non-hyperelliptic non-trigonal, whose model is a complete intersection of three quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^4$. We present and explain algorithms we used to determine, up to isomorphism over…

Curves in positive characteristic have a Cartier operator acting on their space of regular differentials. The $a$-number of a curve is defined to be the dimension of the kernel of the Cartier operator. In \cite{BoCaASc}, Booher and Cais…

Given an ordered sequence of $N$-choose-2 integers, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have an ordered collection of $N$ simple closed curves on a torus such that the algebraic pairwise intersections of those curves are the…

We study a mass formula for Artin--Schreier curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$. For an odd prime $p$ and for small $g$, we determine the number of $k$-isomorphism classes of Artin-Schreier curves of…

We use class field theory to search for curves with many rational points over small finite fields. By going through abelian covers of curves of small genus we find a number of new curves. In particular, we settle the question of how many…

Let C be a reduced, irreducible, not degenerate curve, not contained on surfaces of degree <s; when d=deg(C) is large with respect to s, the arithmetic genus p_a(c) is bounded by a function G(d, r, s) which is of type d^2/2s+O(d). The…

We construct a family of smooth supersingular curves of genus $5$ in characteristic $2$ with several notable features: its dimension matches the expected dimension of any component of the supersingular locus in genus $5$, its members are…

We obtain a sharp bound on the number of self-intersections of a closed planar curve with trigonometric parameterization. Moreover, we show that a generic curve of this form is normal in the sense of Whitney.

In this paper, we study the restrictions on the number $m$ of conic-line curves in special pencils. The most general result we obtain is the relation between upper bounds on $m$ and the number $p$ of concurrent lines in these pencils. We…
