In this paper, we compute explicit equations for the twists of all the smooth plane quartic curves defined over a number field [Formula: see text]. Since the plane quartic curves are non-hyperelliptic curves of genus [Formula: see text] we can apply the method developed by the author in a previous paper. The starting point is a classification due to Henn of the plane quartic curves with non-trivial automorphism group up to [Formula: see text]-isomorphism.

Let [Formula: see text] be a smooth plane curve of degree [Formula: see text] defined over a global field [Formula: see text] of characteristic [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] (up to an extra condition on [Formula: see text]). Unless the curve is bielliptic of degree four, we observe that it always admits finitely many quadratic points. We further show that there are only finitely many quadratic extensions [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a number field, in which we may have more points of [Formula: see text] than these over [Formula: see text]. In particular, we have this asymptotic phenomenon valid for Fermat’s and Klein’s equations. Second, we conjecture that there are two infinite sets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of isomorphism classes of smooth projective plane quartic curves over [Formula: see text] with a prescribed automorphism group, such that all members of [Formula: see text] (respectively [Formula: see text]) are bielliptic and have finitely (respectively infinitely) many quadratic points over a number field [Formula: see text]. We verify the conjecture over [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The analog of the conjecture over global fields with [Formula: see text] is also considered.

In this paper we study the variation of the $p$-Selmer rank parities of $p$-twists of a principally polarized Abelian variety over an arbitrary number field $K$ and show, under certain assumptions, that this parity is periodic with an explicit period. Our result applies in particular to principally polarized Abelian varieties with full $K$-rational $p$-torsion subgroup, arbitrary elliptic curves, and Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves. Assuming the Shafarevich–Tate conjecture, our result allows one to classify the rank parities of all quadratic twists of an elliptic or hyperelliptic curve after a finite calculation.

Let [Formula: see text] be the moduli space of smooth, genus [Formula: see text] curves over an algebraically closed field [Formula: see text] of zero characteristic. Denote by [Formula: see text] the subset of [Formula: see text] of curves [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] (as a finite nontrivial group) is isomorphic to a subgroup of [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the subset of curves [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the full automorphism group of [Formula: see text]. Now, for an integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the subset of [Formula: see text] representing smooth, genus [Formula: see text] curves that admit a non-singular plane model of degree [Formula: see text] (in this case, [Formula: see text]) and consider the sets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper we first determine, for an arbitrary but a fixed degree [Formula: see text], an algorithm to list the possible values [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is non-empty, where [Formula: see text] denotes the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text]. In particular, we prove that [Formula: see text] should divide one of the integers: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. Secondly, consider a curve [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] has an element of “very large” order, in the sense that this element is of order [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. Then we investigate the groups [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] and also we determine the locus [Formula: see text] in these situations. Moreover, we work with the same question when [Formula: see text] has an element of “large” order: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] an integer.

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

Let H3 be the 9-dimensional Taft Hopf algebra, let [Formula: see text] be the corresponding Green ring of H3, and let [Formula: see text] be the automorphism group of Green algebra [Formula: see text] over the real number field ℝ. We prove that the quotient group [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the direct product of the dihedral group of order 12 and the cyclic group of order 2, where T1 is the isomorphism class which contains the identity map and is isomorphic to a group [Formula: see text] with multiplication given by [Formula: see text].

A Riemann surface [Formula: see text] having field of moduli ℝ, but not a field of definition, is called pseudo-real. This means that [Formula: see text] has anticonformal automorphisms, but none of them is an involution. A Riemann surface is said to be plane if it can be described by a smooth plane model of some degree d ≥ 4 in [Formula: see text]. We characterize pseudo-real-plane Riemann surfaces [Formula: see text], whose conformal automorphism group Aut+([Formula: see text]) is PGL3(ℂ)-conjugate to a finite non-trivial group that leaves invariant infinitely many points of [Formula: see text]. In particular, we show that such pseudo-real-plane Riemann surfaces exist only if Aut+([Formula: see text]) is cyclic of even order n dividing the degree d. Explicit families of pseudo-real-plane Riemann surfaces are given for any degree d = 2pm with m > 1 odd, p prime and n = d/p.

For a prime p ≥ 2 and a number field K with p-class group of type (p, p) it is shown that the class, coclass, and further invariants of the metabelian Galois group [Formula: see text] of the second Hilbert p-class field [Formula: see text] of K are determined by the p-class numbers of the unramified cyclic extensions Ni|K, 1 ≤ i ≤ p + 1, of relative degree p. In the case of a quadratic field [Formula: see text] and an odd prime p ≥ 3, the invariants of G are derived from the p-class numbers of the non-Galois subfields Li|ℚ of absolute degree p of the dihedral fields Ni. As an application, the structure of the automorphism group [Formula: see text] of the second Hilbert 3-class field [Formula: see text] is analyzed for all quadratic fields K with discriminant -106 < D < 107 and 3-class group of type (3, 3) by computing their principalization types. The distribution of these metabelian 3-groups G on the coclass graphs [Formula: see text], 1 ≤ r ≤ 6, in the sense of Eick and Leedham-Green is investigated.
