On generalized superelliptic Riemann surfaces
(eprint arXiv:1609.09576, 2016-11-01)A closed Riemann surface X, of genus g ≥ 2, is called a generalized superelliptic curve of level n ≥ 2 if it admits an order n conformal automorphism τ so that X/hτihas genus zero and τ is central in Aut(X); the cyclic ... -
On the automorphism groups of some AG-codes based on C_{a,b} curves
(2006-01-15)We study Ca,b curves and their applications to coding theory. Recently, Joyner and Ksir have suggested a decoding algorithm based on the automorphisms of the code. We show how Ca,b curves can be used to construct MDS ... -
