A note on the ramification of torsion points lying on curves of genus at least two

Damian Rössler (2010)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let C be a curve of genus g 2 defined over the fraction field K of a complete discrete valuation ring R with algebraically closed residue field. Suppose that char ( K ) = 0 and that the characteristic p of the residue field is not 2 . Suppose that the Jacobian Jac ( C ) has semi-stable reduction over R . Embed C in Jac ( C ) using a K -rational point. We show that the coordinates of the torsion points lying on C lie in the unique tamely ramified quadratic extension of the field generated over K by the coordinates of the p -torsion...

A Note on the Rational Cuspidal Curves

Piotr Nayar, Barbara Pilat (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

In this short note we give an elementary combinatorial argument, showing that the conjecture of J. Fernández de Bobadilla, I. Luengo-Velasco, A. Melle-Hernández and A. Némethi [Proc. London Math. Soc. 92 (2006), 99-138, Conjecture 1] follows from Theorem 5.4 of Brodzik and Livingston [arXiv:1304.1062] in the case of rational cuspidal curves with two critical points.

A note on the torsion of the Jacobians of superelliptic curves y q = x p + a

Tomasz Jędrzejak (2016)

Banach Center Publications

This article is a short version of the paper published in J. Number Theory 145 (2014) but we add new results and a brief discussion about the Torsion Conjecture. Consider the family of superelliptic curves (over ℚ) C q , p , a : y q = x p + a , and its Jacobians J q , p , a , where 2 < q < p are primes. We give the full (resp. partial) characterization of the torsion part of J 3 , 5 , a ( ) (resp. J q , p , a ( ) ). The main tools are computations of the zeta function of C 3 , 5 , a (resp. C q , p , a ) over l for primes l ≡ 1,2,4,8,11 (mod 15) (resp. for primes l ≡ -1 (mod qp))...
