Equations of hyperelliptic modular curves

Josep Gonzalez Rovira (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We compute, in a unified way, the equations of all hyperelliptic modular curves. The main tool is provided by a class of modular functions introduced by Newman in 1957. The method uses the action of the hyperelliptic involution on the cusps.

Etale coverings of a Mumford curve

Marius Van Der Put (1983)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let the field K be complete w.r.t. a non-archimedean valuation. Let X / K be a Mumford curve, i.e. the irreducible components of the stable reduction of X have genus 0. The abelian etale coverings of X are constructed using the analytic uniformization Ω X and the theta-functions on X . For a local field K one rediscovers G . Frey’s description of the maximal abelian unramified extension of the field of rational functions of X .

Explicit moduli for curves of genus 2 with real multiplication by ℚ(√5)

John Wilson (2000)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Motivation. Let J₀(N) denote the Jacobian of the modular curve X₀(N) parametrizing pairs of N-isogenous elliptic curves. The simple factors of J₀(N) have real multiplication, that is to say that the endomorphism ring of a simple factor A contains an order in a totally real number field of degree dim A. We shall sometimes abbreviate "real multiplication" to "RM" and say that A has maximal RM by the totally real field F if A has an action of the full ring of integers of F. We say that a...

Field of moduli versus field of definition for cyclic covers of the projective line

Aristides Kontogeorgis (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give a criterion, based on the automorphism group, for certain cyclic covers of the projective line to be defined over their field of moduli. An example of a cyclic cover of the complex projective line with field of moduli that can not be defined over is also given.

Fields of moduli of three-point G -covers with cyclic p -Sylow, II

Andrew Obus (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We continue the examination of the stable reduction and fields of moduli of G -Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic ( 0 , p ) , where G has a cyclic p -Sylow subgroup P of order p n . Suppose further that the normalizer of P acts on P via an involution. Under mild assumptions, if f : Y 1 is a three-point G -Galois cover defined over ¯ , then the n th higher ramification groups above p for the upper numbering of the (Galois closure of the) extension K / vanish,...

Finiteness results for Hilbert's irreducibility theorem

Peter Müller (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let k be a number field, 𝒪 k its ring of integers, and f ( t , X ) k ( t ) [ X ] be an irreducible polynomial. Hilbert’s irreducibility theorem gives infinitely many integral specializations t t ¯ 𝒪 k such that f ( t ¯ , X ) is still irreducible. In this paper we study the set Red f ( 𝒪 k ) of those t ¯ 𝒪 k with f ( t ¯ , X ) reducible. We show that Red f ( 𝒪 k ) is a finite set under rather weak assumptions. In particular, previous results obtained by diophantine approximation techniques, appear as special cases of some of our results. Our method is different. We use elementary group...
