Algebraic Curves and Their Applications
Share this pageEdited by Lubjana Beshaj; Tony Shaska
This volume contains a collection of papers on
algebraic curves and their applications. While algebraic curves
traditionally have provided a path toward modern algebraic geometry,
they also provide many applications in number theory, computer
security and cryptography, coding theory, differential equations, and
more.
Papers cover topics such as the rational torsion points of elliptic
curves, arithmetic statistics in the moduli space of curves,
combinatorial descriptions of semistable hyperelliptic curves over
local fields, heights on weighted projective spaces, automorphism
groups of curves, hyperelliptic curves, dessins d'enfants,
applications to Painlevé equations, descent on real algebraic
varieties, quadratic residue codes based on hyperelliptic curves, and
Abelian varieties and cryptography.
This book will be a valuable resource for people interested in
algebraic curves and their connections to other branches of
mathematics.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in algebraic geometry, cryptography, and elliptic and hyperelliptic curves.
