Curves arising from endomorphism rings of Kronecker modules (Q2477997): Difference between revisions

The authors prove that minimal number of generators of endomorphism rings of Kronecker modules of degree at least 3 over an algebraic closed field is exactly 3 (Theorem 4.7). The authors reduce this to an algebraic geometric result, which they also prove (Corollary 4.5): If a smooth point of a (in a non-standard sense) hyperelliptic curve is not fixed by the hyperelliptic involution then the curve minus this point is not embeddable into the affine plane. The definitions are too involved to recall here. The paper splits into two parts: a mainly algebraic part consisting of the above mentioned reduction followed by the algebraic geometry part entirely in the realm of algebraic curves. The proofs are easy to follow. However, the article is minimalistic in the sense that it recalls only the parts of the notions necessary to understand the proofs.
