By listing class groups of curves of small genus one may get examples of curves with many points; we do this for all curves of genus 2 over the fields of cardinality 5,7,9,11,13 and 16, giving new entries for the tables of curves with many points (www.manYPoints.org).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-25T22:43:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "computer search", "divisor class group", "class field theory", "small genus", "finite field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.5176R" } } }
