This result constitutes an explicit application of a general theorem on arbitrary rational families of abelian varieties to the case of families of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves. Furthermore, we provide explicit examples of hyperelliptic curves of genus $2$ and $3$ over $\\mathbb Q$ whose Jacobians have such maximal adelic Galois representations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-24T14:06:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F80", "11G10", "11G30", "11R32" ], "keywords": [ "hyperelliptic curves", "maximal galois action", "torsion points", "maximal adelic galois representations", "arbitrary rational families" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
