AbstractWe study the problem of efficiently constructing a curve $C$ of genus $2$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ for which either the curve $C$ itself or its Jacobian has a prescribed number $N$ of $\mathbb{F}$-rational points.In the case of the Jacobian, we show that any ‘CM-construction’ to produce the required genus-$2$ curves necessarily takes time exponential in the size of its input.On the other hand, we provide an algorithm for producing a genus-$2$ curve with a given number of points that, heuristically, takes polynomial time for most input values. We illustrate the practical applicability of this algorithm by constructing a genus-$2$ curve having exactly $10^{2014}+9703$ (prime) points, and two genus-$2$ curves each having exactly $10^{2013}$ points.In an appendix we provide a complete parametrization, over an arbitrary base field $k$ of characteristic neither two nor three, of the family of genus-$2$ curves over $k$ that have $k$-rational degree-$3$ maps to elliptic curves, including formulas for the genus-$2$ curves, the associated elliptic curves, and the degree-$3$ maps.Supplementary materials are available with this article.

New Formula

AbstractIn this paper we give a new formula for adding $2$-coverings and $3$-coverings of elliptic curves that avoids the need for any field extensions. We show that the $6$-coverings obtained can be represented by pairs of cubic forms. We then prove a theorem on the existence of such models with integer coefficients and the same discriminant as a minimal model for the Jacobian elliptic curve. This work has applications to finding rational points of large height on elliptic curves.

The pencil of quartic curveswhere x, y, z are homogeneous coordinates in a plane, was encountered by Ciani [Palermo Rendiconli, Vol. 13, 1899] in his search for plane quartic curves that were invariant under harmonic inversions. If x, y, z undergo any permutation the ternary quartic form on the left of (1) is not altered; nor is it altered if any, or all, of x, y, z be multiplied by −1. There thus arises an octahedral group G of ternary collineations for which every curve of the pencil is invariant.Since (1) may also be writtenthe four linesare, as Ciani pointed out, bitangents, at their intersections with the conic C whose equation is x2 + y2 + z2 = 0, to every quartic of the pencil. The 16 base points of the pencil are thus all accounted for—they consist of these eight contacts counted twice—and this set of points must of course be invariant under G. Indeed the 4! collineations of G are precisely those which give rise to the different permutations of the four lines (2), a collineation in a plane being determined when any four non-concurrent lines and the four lines which are to correspond to them are given. The quadrilateral formed by the lines (2) will be called q.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of the family of rational maps with two parameters $$\begin{eqnarray}f_{a,b}(z)=z^{n}+\frac{a^{2}}{z^{n}-b}+\frac{a^{2}}{b},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $n\geq 2$ and $a,b\in \mathbb{C}^{\ast }$. We give a characterization of the topological properties of the Julia set and the Fatou set of $f_{a,b}$ according to the dynamical behavior of the orbits of the free critical points.

It is well known that no rational number is approximable to order higher than 1. Roth [3] showed that an algebraic number is not approximable to order greater than 2. On the other hand it is easy to construct numbers, the Liouville numbers, which are approximable to any order (see [2], p. 162). We are led to the question, “Let Nn(α, β) denote the number of distinct rational points with denominators ≦ n contained in an interval (α, β). What is the behaviour of Nn(α, + 1/n) as α varies on the real line?” We shall prove that and that there are “compressions” and “rarefactions” of rational points on the real line.

Theory Of Forms

It is well known that the Plücker coordinates of a straight line in ordinary space satisfy a quadratic identitywhich may also be considered as the equation of a point-quadric in five dimensions, if the six coordinates Pij are treated as six homogeneous coordinates of a point. Projective properties of line geometry may therefore be treated as projective properties of point geometry in five dimensions. This suggests that certain algebraic theories of quaternary forms (corresponding to the geometry of ordinary space) can best be treated as algebraic theories of senary forms: that is, forms in six homogeneous variables.

The purpose of this article is to construct families of elliptic curves E over finite fields F so that the groups of F-rational points of E are cyclic, by using a representation of the modular invariant function by a generator of a modular function field associated with the modular group Γ0(N), where N = 5, 7 or 13.
