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

We consider the problem of counting the number of points on a plane curve, defined by a homogeneous polynomial F (x, y, z) β Fq[x, y, z], which are rational over a ground field Fq. More precisely, we show that if we are given a projective plane curve C of degree n, and if C has only ordinary multipl
Suppose a finite group acts as a group of automorphisms of a smooth complex algebraic variety which is defined over a number field. We show how, in certain circumstances, an equivariant comparison theorem in l-adic cohomology may be used to convert the computation of the graded character of the indu
We develop efficient methods for deterministic computations with semi-algebraic sets and apply them to the problem of counting points on curves and Abelian varieties over finite fields. For Abelian varieties of dimension g in projective N space over Fq, we improve Pila's result and show that the pro
We give a simple and e ective method for the construction of algebraic curves over ΓΏnite ΓΏelds with many rational points. The curves constructed are Kummer covers or ΓΏbre products of Kummer covers of the projective line.
