We study the character sums [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the quadratic character defined over [Formula: see text]. These sums are expressed in terms of Gaussian hypergeometric series over [Formula: see text]. Then we use these expressions to exhibit the number of [Formula: see text]-rational points on families of hyperelliptic curves and their Jacobian varieties.

AbstractLet p be a prime number ≥ 5 and a, b, c be non zero natural numbers. Using the works of K. Ribet and A. Wiles on the modular representations, we get new results about the description of the primitive solutions of the diophantine equation axp + byp = cz2, in case the product of the prime divisors of abc divides 2ℓ, with ℓ an odd prime number. For instance, under some conditions on a, b, c, we provide a constant f (a, b, c) such that there are no such solutions if p > f (a, b, c). In application, we obtain information concerning the ℚ-rational points of hyperelliptic curves given by the equation y2 = xp + d with d ∈ ℤ.

Several authors [1, 5, 9] have investigated the algebraic and transcendental values of the Gaussian hypergeometric series(formula here)for rational parameters a, b, c and algebraic and rational values of z ∈ (0, 1). This led to several new identities such as(formula here)and(formula here)where Γ(x) denotes the gamma function. It was pointed out by the present authors [6] that these results, and others like it, could be derived simply by combining certain classical F transformation formulae with the singular values of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind K(k), where k denotes the modulus.Here, we pursue the methods used in [6] to produce further examples of the type (1·2) and (1·3). Thus, we find the following results:(formula here)The result (1·6) is of particular interest because the argument and value of the F function are both rational.
