Size of Families of Curves with Large Automorphism Group in Positive Characteristic
نویسنده
چکیده
The size of the base of deformations of curves acted fiberwise by groups that exceed the classical Hurwitz bound is studied. Under the assumption that curves can be not trivially deformed together with the automorphism group the bounds for the automorphism group in positive characteristic are improved.

Irreducible canonical representations in positive characteristic
For X a curve over a field of positive characteristic, we investigate when the canonical representation of Aut(X) on H0(X , X) is irreducible. Any curve with an irreducible canonical representation must either be superspecial or ordinary. Having a small automorphism group is an obstruction to having irreducible canonical representation; with this motivation, the bulk of the paper is spent bound...
متن کاملOn large automorphism groups of algebraic curves in positive characteristic
In his investigation on large K-automorphism groups of an algebraic curve, Stichtenoth obtained an upper bound on the order of the first ramification group of an algebraic curve X defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Stichtenoth’s bound has raised the problem of classifying all K-automorphism groups G of X with the following property: There is a point P ∈ X for which ...
متن کاملMonodromy Groups of Coverings of Curves
We consider nite separable coverings of curves f : X → Y over a eld of characteristic p ≥ 0. We are interested in describing the possible monodromy groups of this cover if the genus of X is xed. There has been much progress on this problem over the past decade in characteristic zero. Recently Frohardt and Magaard completed the nal step in resolving the Guralnick Thompson conjecture showing that...
متن کاملDarren Glass : Description of Current Research Interests Spring 2008
My research interests are generally in the areas of algebraic geometry, number theory, and Galois theory. My dissertation and some of the research at that time focussed on profinite Galois groups ([2]) and ε-constants associated to arithmetic schemes ([5], [6]), and I have continued this work with a more recent paper on the De Rham cohomology of elliptic curves ([9]). However, most of my recent...
متن کاملMumford Curves with Maximal Automorphism Group
It is known that a Mumford curve of genus g / ∈ {5, 6, 7, 8} over a non-archimedean valued field of characteristic p > 0 has at most 2 √ g( √ g+1) automorphisms. In this note, the unique family of curves which attains this bound, and their automorphism group are determined.
