相关论文: On maximal curves and unramified coverings
Given a point set, mostly a grid in our case, we seek upper and lower bounds on the number of curves that are needed to cover the point set. We say a curve covers a point if the curve passes through the point. We consider such coverings by…
In the present paper we investigate the question concerning the existence of maximizing curves of degree $7$ with some prescribed ${\rm ADE}$ singularities. We give a result proving the non-existence of such maximizing septics and we…
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…
We complete the $L^p$ boundedness theory of commutators of Hilbert transforms along monomial curves by providing the previously missing lower bounds. This optimal result now covers all monomial curves while previous results had significant…
We show that the Boundedness Height Conjecture is optimal; all varieties in a power of an elliptic curve which do not satisfy the hypothesis neither satisfy the thesis. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold for varieties in a power…
Here we investigate the canonical Gaussian map for higher multiple coverings of curves, the case of double coverings being completely understood thanks to previous work by Duflot. In particular, we prove that every smooth curve can be…
We study arithmetical and geometrical properties of {\it maximal curves}, that is, curves defined over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ whose number of $\mathbb F_{q^2}$-rational points reachs the Hasse-Weil upper bound. Under a…
We describe an algorithm that determines a set of unramified covers of a given hyperelliptic curve, with the property that any rational point will lift to one of the covers. In particular, if the algorithm returns an empty set, then the…
The aim of this paper is to provide a direct link between maximizing curves that occur in the construction of smooth algebraic surfaces having the maximal possible Picard numbers and reduced free plane curves with simple singularities. We…
A new family of maximal curves over a finite field is presented and some of their properties are investigated.
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…
We prove a result which establishes restrictions on the pseudoholomorphic curves which can exist in a stable Hamiltonian manifold in the presence of certain $\mathbb{R}$-invariant foliations of the symplectization by holomorphic…
Given a pair of translation surfaces it is very difficult to determine whether they are supported on the same algebraic curve. In fact, there are very few examples of such pairs. In this note we present infinitely many examples of finite…
We classify completely the intersections of the Hermitian curve with parabolas in the affine plane. To obtain our results we employ well-known algebraic methods for finite fields and geometric properties of the curve automorphisms. In…
We give a sharp bound on the number of automorphisms of a stable curve of a given genus and describe all curves attaining this bound.
We study arithmetical and geometrical properties of maximal curves, that is, curves defined over the finite field F_{q^2} whose number of F_{q^2}-rational points reaches the Hasse-Weil upper bound. Under a hypothesis on non-gaps at a…
There is a natural question to ask whether the rich mathematical theory of the hyperelliptic curves can be extended to all superelliptic curves. Moreover, one wonders if all of the applications of hyperelliptic curves such as cryptography,…
The van der Geer-van der Vlugt curves are Artin-Schreier coverings of the affine line defined by linearized polynomials over finite fields. We give several criteria for them to be maximal or minimal, i.e. attaining the upper or lower bound…
In this note we prove that any closed graph manifold admitting a metric of non-positive sectional curvature (NPC-metric) has a finite cover, which is fibered over the circle. An explicit criterion to have a finite cover, which is fibered…
It has been conjectured that every algebraic curve may be defined either over its field of moduli or over an extension of degree two of it. In this paper we provide a negative answer to it by giving examples of hyperelliptic curves which…
