A new family of maximal curves

P Beelen, M Montanucci - Journal of the London Mathematical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In this article we construct for any prime power q and odd n⩾ 5, a new F q 2 n‐maximal
curve X n. Like the Garcia–Güneri–Stichtenoth maximal curves, our curves generalize the …

M Giulietti, G Korchmáros - Advances in Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
Let X be a (projective, geometrically irreducible, non-singular) algebraic curve of genus g≥

[HTML][HTML] Further examples of maximal curves which cannot be covered by the Hermitian curve

S Tafazolian, A Teheran-Herrera, F Torres - Journal of pure and applied …, 2016 - Elsevier
We construct examples of curves defined over the finite field F q 6 which are covered by the
GK-curve. Thus such curves are maximal over F q 6 although they cannot be covered by the …

The automorphism group of the generalized Giulietti–Korchmáros function field

C Güneri, M Özdemiry, H Stichtenoth - Advances in Geometry, 2013 - degruyter.com
Abstract The Giulietti-Korchmáros (GK) function field is the first example of a maximal
function field which is not a subfield of the Hermitian function field over the same constant …

[HTML][HTML] On some Galois covers of the Suzuki and Ree curves

M Giulietti, M Montanucci, L Quoos, G Zini - Journal of Number Theory, 2018 - Elsevier
We investigate two families S˜ q and R˜ q of maximal curves over finite fields recently
constructed by Skabelund as cyclic covers of the Suzuki and Ree curves. We show that S˜ q …

[HTML][HTML] Maximal curves from subcovers of the GK-curve

M Giulietti, L Quoos, G Zini - Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2016 - Elsevier
For every q= n 3 with na prime power greater than 2, the GK-curve is an F q 2-maximal curve
that is not F q 2-covered by the Hermitian curve. In this paper some Galois subcovers of the …

We investigate the genera of quotient curves ℋ q∕ G of the 𝔽 q 2-maximal Hermitian curve
ℋ q, where G is contained in the maximal subgroup ℳ q≤ A ut (ℋ q) fixing a pole-polar pair …

Quotients of the Hermitian curve from subgroups of without fixed points or triangles

M Montanucci, G Zini - Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 2020 - Springer
In this paper, we deal with the problem of classifying the genera of quotient curves H _q/GH
q/G, where H _q H q is the F _ q^ 2 F q 2-maximal Hermitian curve and G is an …
