It is known that Drinfeld modular curves can be used to construct asymptotically optimal towers of curves over finite fields. Using reductions of the Drinfeld modular curves X 0 ðnÞ, we try to find individual curves over finite fields with many rational points. The main idea is to divide by an Atkin

Let K be an algebraic function field in one variable over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. We give an explicit upper bound for the number of rational points of genus-changing curves over K defined by y p =r(x) and show that every genus-changing curve of absolute genus 0 ha
Tate proved a theorem on rational points of torsors ("Torsors" means "Homogeneous spaces," in sequel we use "torsors" in this meaning) of \(T / K\), where \(K\) is a local field, \(T\) is a Tate curve. In this paper we extend the above theorem to the case where \(T\) is a twist of a Tate curve, and
We establish a correspondence between a class of Kummer extensions of the rational function "eld and con"gurations of hyperplanes in an a$ne space. Using this correspondence, we obtain explicit curves over "nite "elds with many rational points. Some of our examples almost attain the OesterleH bound.
