✦ Synopsis

In [11], a new bound for the number of points on an algebraic curve over a "nite "eld of odd order was obtained, and applied to improve previous bounds on the size of a complete arc not contained in a conic. Here, a similar approach is used to show that a complete arc in a plane of even order q has size q#2 or q!(q#1 or less than q!2(q#6. To obtain this result, "rst a new characterization of a Hermitian curve for any square q is given; more precisely, it is shown that a curve of su$ciently low degree has a certain upper bound for the number of its rational points with equality occurring in this bound only when the curve is Hermitian. Finally, another application is given concerning the degree of the curve on which a unital can lie.

We show that every elliptic curve over a finite field of odd characteristic whose number of rational points is divisible by 4 is isogenous to an elliptic curve in Legendre form, with the sole exception of a minimal respectively maximal elliptic curve. We also collect some results concerning the supe

## Abstract In this paper we study the Newton polygon of the __L__ ‐polynomial __L__ (__t__) associate to the Picard curves __y__^3^ = __x__^4^ – 1, __y__^3^ = __x__^4^ – __x__ defined over a finite field 𝔽~__p__~ . In the former case we get a complete classification. In the latter case we obtai

In this paper we introduce a definition for L-functions associated to an Abelian covering of algebraic curves with singularities. The main result is a proof that this definition is compatible with the definition of the zeta function of a singular curve.

Let A be a finite abelian group such that there is an elliptic curve defined over a finite field F q with E(F q )$A. We will determine the possible group structures E(F q k) as E varies over all elliptic curves defined over F q with E(F q )$A.
