Explicit arithmetic of Jacobians of generalized Legendre curves over global function fields
The authors study the Jacobian $J$ of the smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $r-1$ with affine model $y^r = x^r-1(x + 1)(x + t)$ over the function field $\mathbb F_p(t)$, when $p$ is prime and $r\ge 2$ is an integer prime to $p$.

| Summary: | The authors study the Jacobian $J$ of the smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $r-1$ with affine model $y^r = x^r-1(x + 1)(x + t)$ over the function field $\mathbb F_p(t)$, when $p$ is prime and $r\ge 2$ is an integer prime to $p$. When $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is a positive integer, the authors compute the $L$-function of $J$ over $\mathbb F_q(t^1/d)$ and show that the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for $J$ over $\mathbb F_q(t^1/d)$. |

Description based on print version record. American Mathematical Society. Includes bibliographical references. 2020 We study the Jacobian J of the smooth projective curve C of genus r-1 with affine model yr = xr-1(x+ 1)(x + t) over the function field Fp(t), when p is prime and r [greater than or equal to] 2 is an integer prime to p. When q is a power of p and d is a positive integer, we compute the L-function of J over Fq(t1/d) and show that the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for J over Fq(t1/d). When d is divisible by r and of the form p[nu] + 1, and Kd := Fp([mu]d, t1/d), we write down explicit points in J(Kd), show that they generate a subgroup V of rank (r-1)(d-2) whose index in J(Kd) is finite and a power of p, and show that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of J over Kd is [J(Kd) : V ]2. When r > 2, we prove that the "new" part of J is isogenous over Fp(t) to the square of a simple abelian variety of dimension [phi](r)/2 with endomorphism algebra Z[[mu]r]+. For a prime with pr, we prove that J[](L) = {0} for any abelian extension L of Fp(t)"-- Mode of access : World Wide Web |
