Curves over finite and local fields (11G20) Rational points (14G05) Zeta functions and related questions in algebraic geometry (e.g., Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture) (14G10) Finite ground fields in algebraic geometry (14G15) Special algebraic curves and curves of low genus (14H45)

Abstract: The defect of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre upper bound for the number of points on the curve. We present algorithms for constructing curves of genus 5, 6, and 7 with small defect. Our aim is to be able to produce, in a reasonable amount of time, curves that can be used to populate the online table of curves with many points found at http://www.manypoints.org.
