[ 1 ] - A descent method for explicit computations on curves

‎It is shown that the knowledge of a surjective morphism $Xto Y$ of complex‎ ‎curves can be effectively used‎ ‎to make explicit calculations‎. ‎The method is demonstrated‎ ‎by the calculation of $j(ntau)$ (for some small $n$) in terms of $j(tau)$ for the elliptic curve ‎with period lattice $(1,tau)$‎, ‎the period matrix for the Jacobian of a family of genus-$2$ curves‎ ‎complementing the classi...
