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...
