-numbers of covers in characteristic two: semigroups and Riemann-Roch spaces
Gilberto B. Almeida Filho, Saeed Tafazolian, Stéfani C. Vieira
We compute the -numbers of the Garcia-Güneri-Stichtenoth curves, the Beelen-Montanucci curves, and the Skabelund covers of Suzuki curves in characteristic two. The proofs use th…
-Numbers, higher Cartier ranks and maximality of van der Geer-van der Vlugt curves
Gilberto B. Almeida Filho, Saeed Tafazolian, Stéfani C. Vieira
Let be an odd prime and let be the van der Geer-van der Vlugt curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic , where $R(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{h}a_ix…
Nonexistence of maximal curves of genus five over $\F_{64}$
Gilberto B. Almeida Filho, Saeed Tafazolian, Stéfani C. Vieira
We show that there is no maximal curve of genus five over $\F_{64}$. As a consequence, , and the genus spectrum of maximal curves over $\F_{64}$ is determined. The p…
Maximal Subcovers of the Skabelund Curve: Uniqueness via Genus and Automorphism Groups
Gilberto B. Almeida Filho, Saeed Tafazolian, Stéfani C. Vieira
We establish a rigidity phenomenon for a family of intermediate covers of the Skabelund curve over . The Skabelund curve, introduced by D.~Skabelund as a cyclic c…
