On curves covered by the Hermitian curve
A. Cossidente, G. Korchmaros, F. Torres
For each proper divisor d of (r^2-r+1), r being a power of a prime, maximal curves over a finite field with r^2 elements covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1/2((r^2-r+1)/d-1)…

On plane maximal curves
A. Cossidente, J. W. P. Hirschfeld, G. Korchmaros +1
The genus of a maximal curve over a finite field with r^2 elements is either g_0=r(r-1)/2 or less than or equal to g_1=(r-1)^2/4. Maximal curves with genus g_0 or g_1 have been cha…
