Abstract:
Let a hyperelliptic curve C of genus g defined over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0 be given by the equation y2=f(x), where f(x)∈K[x] is a square-free polynomial of odd degree 2g+1. The curve C contains a single “infinite” point O, which is a Weierstrass point. There is a classical embedding of C(K) into the group J(K) of K-points of the Jacobian variety J of C that identifies the point O with the identity of the group J(K). For 2⩽g⩽5, we explicitly find representatives of birational equivalence classes of hyperelliptic curves C with a unique base point at infinity O such that the set C(K)∩J(K) contains at least six torsion points of order 2g+1. It was previously known that for g=2 there are exactly five such equivalence classes, and, for g⩾3, an upper bound depending only on the genus g was known. We improve the previously known upper bound by almost 36 times.
