Arakelov computations in genus curves
Arakelov invariants of arithmetic surfaces are well known for genus 1 and 2 ([4], [2]). In this note, we study the modular height and the Arakelov self-intersection for a family of curves of genus 3 with many automorphisms:Arakelov calculus involves both analytic and arithmetic computations. We express the periods of the curve in terms of elliptic integrals. The substitutions used in these integrals provide a splitting of the jacobian of as a product of three elliptic curves. Using the corresponding...
