Abstract

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$ and let $q=2^h$, $h\ge3$. We construct ordinary bielliptic curves $X$ of genus $q+1$ for which \[ \Aut(X)\cong \Dih(C_q)\times C_2, \qquad |\Aut(X)|=4q=4(g(X)-1). \] These curves realize case \textup{(ib)} in the classification of Giulietti--Korchm\'aros and give an infinite family answering a problem posed by Korchm\'aros. More generally, we prove that every curve in case \textup{(ib)} arises from the same construction. Case \textup{(ib)} occurs exactly in genera $g=2^h+1$ with $h\ge2$. For $g\ge9$ we determine the full automorphism group; in genus $5$ we determine its Sylow $2$-subgroup but do not claim the full automorphism group. For every fixed $q\ge8$, the isomorphism classes in case \textup{(ib)} of genus $q+1$ are parametrized bijectively by $(k^\times)^2$. The construction is described in terms of an ordinary elliptic curve and an invariant differential. We determine the short orbits and ramification, the unramified cyclic quotients, and the quotients by the central involutions. For $q=8$ an explicit plane model over $\F_2$ is given.

On the Existence of Hyperelliptic Curves over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$ with Certain Jacobian Ranks

Let $y^2 = f(x,T)$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\geq 1$, defined over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$. We prove the existence of infinitely many imaginary hyperelliptic curves with a fixed genus $g$ having a certain rank for $5\leq r\leq 4g+2$, and a similar result for real hyperelliptic curves with a fixed genus $g$ having a c...

Products of point counts of higher genus curves over finite fields

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve and for each prime $p$, let $N_p$ denote the number of points of $E$ modulo $p$. The original version of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer asserts that $\prod \limits _{p \leq x} \frac{N_p}{p} \sim C (\log x) ^{\text{rank}(E(\mathbb Q))}$ as $x \to \infty$. In this paper...

Galois Symbols for a Jacobian and Multiplicative Groups

Let $C$ be a smooth projective geometrically connected curve over a field $k$ with a $k$-rational point. Let $J$ be the Jacobian variety of $C$. For an integer $r\geq 1$ and a positive integer $n$ prime to the characteristic of $k$, we prove that the Galois symbol map \[ K(k;J,\mathbb{G}_{m},\ldots,\mathbb{G}_{m})/n \t...

Degree Growth of Iterates of Curves and Likely Intersections

We study the growth of the bidegree of an ample irreducible curve in $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ under a product polynomial endomorphism $\varphi=(f,g)$, where at least one of $f$ and $g$ is non-exceptional. We prove that, if the curve $C$ is not preperiodic under $(f^a,g^b)$ for any $a,b\geq 1$, then the bidegr...

Extremal Derived Length in the Unipotent Radicals of Cartan-Type Automorphism Groups

Over perfect fields of characteristic $p\ge5$, the unipotent radicals of the height-one special, Witt-Jacobson, and Hamiltonian automorphism groups in at least three, two, and four variables, respectively, attain the largest derived length allowed by their nilpotency classes. More strongly, every term of each derived s...

An arithmetic integrability result for codimension-one foliations on complex projective spaces

Let $\F$ be a codimension-one holomorphic foliation of degree $d$ on $\PP^n$, $n\geq3$, admitting an invariant hyperplane $H$. We study the extremal situation in which $S=(H\cap\Sing(\F))_{\rm red}$ is an irreducible hypersurface of $H$ of degree $d+1$. When $d+1$ is a power of a prime, we prove that, in suitable homog...
