The explicit construction of function fields tower with many rational points relative to the genus in the tower play a key role for the construction of asymptotically good algebraic-geometric codes. In 1997 Garcia, Stichtenoth and Thomas…

We give a general recipe for explicitly constructing asymptotically optimal towers of modular curves such as {X_0(l^n): n=1,2,3,...}. We illustrate the method by giving equations for eight towers with various geometric features. We conclude…

We give explicit equations for the simplest towers of Drinfeld modular curves over any finite field, and observe that they coincide with the asymptotically optimal towers of curves constructed by Garcia and Stichtenoth.

We introduce two new types of towers of Drinfeld modular curves. These towers originate from a specific domain $\mathcal{A} $ and are analogous to the towers of rank-two Drinfeld modular curves over the polynomial ring. Specifically, the…

In this paper we investigate examples of good and optimal Drinfeld modular towers of function fields. Surprisingly, the optimality of these towers has not been investigated in full detail in the literature. We also give an algorithmic…

We introduce a new construction of towers of algebraic curves over finite fields and provide a simple example of an optimal tower.

In 2000, based on his procedure for constructing explicit towers of modular curves, Elkies deduced explicit equations of rank-2 Drinfeld modular curves which coincide with the asymptotically optimal towers of curves constructed by Garcia…

In this work, we give sufficient conditions in order to have finite ramification locus in sequences of function fields defined by different kind of Kummer extensions. These conditions can be easily implemented in a computer to generate…

We construct an explicit asymptotically good tower of curves over the field with eight elements. Its limit is 3/2.

We give a new way to study recursive towers of curves over a finite field, defined from a bottom curve $\Cun$ and a correspondence $\Cdeux$ on $\Cun$.In particular, we study their asymptotic behavior. A close examination of singularities…

We give a new construction of nonlinear error-correcting codes over suitable finite fields k from the geometry of modular curves with many rational points over k, combining two recent improvements on Goppa's construction. The resulting…

Elkies proposed a procedure for constructing explicit towers of curves, and gave two towers of Shimura curves as relevant examples. In this paper, we present a new explicit tower of Shimura curves constructed by using this procedure.

We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…

In this paper, we will give an overview of known and new techniques on how one can obtain explicit equations for candidates of good towers of function fields. The techniques are founded in modular theory (both the classical modular theory…

In this paper, we recursively construct explicit elements of provably high order in finite fields. We do this using the recursive formulas developed by Elkies to describe explicit modular towers. In particular, we give two explicit…

Over all non-prime finite fields, we construct some recursive towers of function fields with many rational places. Thus we obtain a substantial improvement on all known lower bounds for Ihara's quantity $A(\ell)$, for $\ell = p^n$ with $p$…

In this paper we construct Galois towers with good asymptotic properties over any non-prime finite field $\mathbb F_{\ell}$; i.e., we construct sequences of function fields $\mathcal{N}=(N_1 \subset N_2 \subset \cdots)$ over $\mathbb…

Towers of algebraic function fields over finite fields play a fundamental role in arithmetic geometry and coding theory. Classical examples arising from modular and Drinfeld modular curves exhibit asymptotically good behavior. In this…

We give effective bounds for the class number of any algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. These bounds depend on the possibly partial information on the number of places on each degree $\leq g$. Such bounds are…

We study the finiteness of low degree points on certain modular curves and their Atkin--Lehner quotients, and, as an application, prove the modularity of elliptic curves over all but finitely many totally real fields of degree $5$. On the…
