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 Γ°nΓ, we try to find individual curves over finite fields with many rational points. The main idea is to divide by an Atkin

## Abstract For a rational cuspidal curve __C__ we study if it has a Galois point. The result is as follows: if __C__ has an outer Galois point, then __C__ is projectively equivalent to the curve defined by __x^e^__ = __y^n^__ where (__e__, __n__) = 1.

Words of low weight in trace codes correspond to curves with many points and the same holds for subcodes of low weight via the fibre product construction. In 1996 Heijnen and Pellikaan gave an algorithm to determine a basis of minimum weight subcodes of generalized Reed Muller codes. We show how thi
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.
