A plane curve $C$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called plane-filling if $C$ contains every $\mathbb{F}_q$-point of $\mathbb{P}^2$. Homma and Kim, building on the work of Tallini, proved that the minimum degree of a smooth…

Our concern is a nonsingular plane curve defined over a finite field of q elements which includes all the rational points of the projective plane over the field. The possible degree of such a curve is at least q+2. We prove that nonsingular…

In this paper we characterize the genera of those quotient curves $\mathcal{H}_q/G$ of the $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal Hermitian curve $\mathcal{H}_q$ for which $G$ is contained in the maximal subgroup $\mathcal{M}_1$ of ${\rm…

We study when Hurwitz curves are supersingular. Specifically, we show that the curve $H_{n,\ell}: X^nY^\ell + Y^nZ^\ell + Z^nX^\ell = 0$, with $n$ and $\ell$ relatively prime, is supersingular over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ if and…

We provide new upper bounds on N_q(g), the maximum number of rational points on a smooth absolutely irreducible genus-g curve over F_q, for many values of q and g. Among other results, we find that N_4(7) = 21 and N_8(5) = 29, and we show…

A projective, smooth, absolutely irreducible algebraic curve X of genus g defined over a finite field F_q is called optimal if for every other such genus g curve Y over F_q one has $\#Y(F_q)\le \#X(F_q)$. In this paper we show that for…

This is a continuation of "Rational curves on hypersurfaces of low degree", math.AG/0203088. We prove that if d^2+d+1 < n and d > 2, then for a general hypersurface X_d in P^n of degree d, for each degree e the space of rational curves of…

In this paper we give an upper bound on the number of rational points on an irreducible curve $C$ of degree $\delta$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ lying on a Frobenius classical surface $S$ embedded in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This…

For each prime power $\ell$ the plane curve $\mathcal X_\ell$ with equation $Y^{\ell^2-\ell+1}=X^{\ell^2}-X$ is maximal over $\mathbb{F}_{\ell^6}$. Garcia and Stichtenoth in 2006 proved that $\mathcal X_3$ is not Galois covered by the…

For any smooth Hurwitz curve $\mathcal{H}_n: \, XY^n+YZ^n+X^nZ=0$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$, an explict description of its Weierstrass points for the morphism of lines is presented. As a consequence, the full automorphism group…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. Most of the known $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal curves arise as quotient curves of the $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-maximal Hermitian curve $\mathcal{H}_{q}$. After a seminal paper by…

This paper studies hyperelliptic curves $\cH_d$ corresponding to $y^2=\varphi_d(x)$ over finite fields, with $\varphi_d(x)$ a Chebyshev polynomial. Starting from the case where $d=\ell$ is an odd prime number, new cases $(d,q)$ are…

In this paper we solve three open problems on maximal curves with Frobenius dimension 3. In particular, we prove the existence of a maximal curve with order sequence (0,1,3,q).

This paper presents a formula for $a$-number of certain maximal curves characterized by the equation $y^{\frac{q+1}{2}} = x^m + x$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. $a$-number serves as an invariant for the isomorphism class of the…

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,…

The well known Hurwitz upper bound states that a closed Riemann surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$ has at most $84(g-1)$ conformal automorphisms. If $S$ has exactly $84(g-1)$ conformal automorphisms, then it is called a Hurwitz curve. The…

We prove that if $C$ is a reflexive smooth plane curve of degree $d$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $d\leq q+1$, then there is an $\mathbb{F}_q$-line $L$ that intersects $C$ transversely. We also prove the same result for…

A nonsingular surface of degree $d \geq 2$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ has at most $((d-1)q+1)d$ $\mathbb{F}_q$-lines, and this bound is optimal for $d = 2, \sqrt{q}+1, q+1$.

The problem of constructing curves with many points over finite fields has received considerable attention in the recent years. Using the class field theory approach, we construct new examples of curves ameliorating some of the known…

We show that the set of F_q-rational points of either certain Fermat curves or certain F_q-Frobenius non-classical plane curves is a complete (k,d)-arc in P^2(F_q), where k and d are respectively the number of F_q-rational points and the…
