Yet More Projective Curves Over F2
arXiv:math/0105262
Abstract
All binary plane curves of degree less than 7 are examined for curves with a large number of Fq rational points on their smooth model, for q = 2^m ; m = 3, 4,...,11. Previous results are improved, and many new curves are found meeting or close to Serre's, Lauter's, and Ihara's upper bounds.
